The question is (in parametric equations):
$x = 2\sin(t)$ $y = \cos(t)$
for $0 \le t \le \pi/2$
I need to eliminate the parameter and the sketch the curve... any ideas?

Hint: The parametric equation (almost) looks like that of a circle and in particular we have $\frac{x^2}{2^2} + y^2 = 1$ Do you know what kind of curve this describes? How much of the curve is traversed? In what direction?
