Answer

$(x-1)^{2}+(y+2)^{2}=1, \quad 1\leq x\leq 2$

Work Step by Step

Rewriting the parametric equations, isolating $\sin t$ and $\cos t,$ $\left\{\begin{array}{l} x-1=\sin t\\ y+2=\cos t \end{array}\right.$ Square both equations $\left\{\begin{array}{l} (x-1)^{2}=\sin^{2}t\\ (y+2)^{2}=\cos^{2}t \end{array}\right.$ Add the two equations$,\qquad\cos^{2}t +\sin^{2}t=1$ $(x-1)^{2}+(y+2)^{2}=1$ - a circle of radius 1, centered at $(1,-2)$ From the parametric equation for x, we see that $x\in[1,2].$ so we restrict the Cartesian equation: $(x-1)^{2}+(y+2)^{2}=1\quad 1\leq x\leq 2$ To graph, create a function value table using values for t, in ascending order of t, calculating the x- and y-coordinates of points on the graph. Plot and join the points obtained with a smooth curve, noting the direction in which t increases.
