A curve has parametric equations
x = 2 cot t, y = 2sin² t , 0 < t ≤ pi/2
(a) find an expression for dy/dx in terms of the parameter t
(b) Find an equation of the tangent to the curve at the point where t = pi/4
(c) Find a cartesian equation of the curve in the form y = f(x). State the domain on which the curve is defined.
I've done part a),
I've done part b),
I've partway done part c), I have found the equation (y = 8/(4+x^2)), however I don't know how to find the domain on which the curve is defined, any help?
