How Should a Plot of sin(t) vs cos(t) Using linspace in MATLAB Look?

[magma_saber]

Homework Statement

I have to make a plot with sin(t) (y values) vs cos(t) (x values). The values of t should be between -pi and pi. I'm supposed to use linspace.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

i used these lines:

t=linspace(-pi,pi)
plot(cos(t),sin(t))

when i tried it out, the plot came out like this:

it shouldn't look like this should it? its only showing the plot go from -1 to 1.

If t is a real number, both sin t and cos t have values in the [-1, +1] interval, so your graph is correct (a circle).
