Answer

(a) See the graph. (b) $x^2+y^2=4,~~x\geq0$

Work Step by Step

(a) If $t$ goes from $0$ to $\pi$, then $x$ goes from $0$ to $2$ and backs to $0$. At the same time $y$ goes from $2$ to $-2$ (b) $x=2~sin~t$ $x^2=4~sin^2t$ $y=2~cos~t$ $y^2=4~cos^2t$ $x^2+y^2=4~sin^2t+4~cos^2t=4(sin^2t+cos^2t)$ $x^2+y^2=4,~~x\geq0$
