Answer

$9x^2+y^2=9$ or, $y=3 \sqrt {1-x^2}$; $v(0)=6j$ and $a(0)=-4i$

Work Step by Step

Since, we have $x=\cos t; y=3 \sin 2t$ This can be written as: $9x^2+y^2=9$ or, $y=3 \sqrt {1-x^2}$ Now, velocity $v(t)=r'(t)=-2 \sin 2t+6 \cos 2t$ and $v(0)=6j$ As we know acceleration $a(t)=v'(t)=-4 \cos 2t-12 \sin 2t$ and $a(0)=-4i$ Hence, we have $9x^2+y^2=9$ or, $y=3 \sqrt {1-x^2}$; $v(0)=6j$ and $a(0)=-4i$
