Answer

The graph of $x=sin~t$ $y=sin(2t)$

Work Step by Step

Some important points to sketch the graph: $t=0$: $x=0$ $y=0$ The graph passes through the origin. $t=\frac{\pi}{4}$: $x=\frac{\sqrt 2}{2}$ $y=1$ The "top" at the right side. $t=\frac{\pi}{2}$: $x=1$ $y=0$ The graph passes through the positive x-axis. $t=\frac{3\pi}{4}$: $x=\frac{\sqrt 2}{2}$ $y=-1$ The "bottom" at the right side. $t=\pi$: $x=0$ $y=0$ The graph passes through the origin. $t=\frac{5\pi}{4}$: $x=-\frac{\sqrt 2}{2}$ $y=1$ The "top" at the left side. $t=\frac{3\pi}{2}$: $x=-1$ $y=0$ The graph passes through the negative x-axis. $t=\frac{7\pi}{4}$: $x=\frac{\sqrt 2}{2}$ $y=-1$ The "bottom" at the left side.
