Question 4

A curve is defined by the parametric equations

x=2cos⁡θ and y=2sin⁡θwhere 0≤θ≤2π x = 2\cos\theta \text{ and } y = 2\sin\theta \quad \text{where } 0 \le \theta \le 2\pi x=2cosθ and y=2sinθwhere 0≤θ≤2π

Which of the options shown below is a Cartesian equation for this curve?

yx=tan⁡θ\frac{y}{x} = \tan \thetaxy​=tanθ

x2+y2=4x^2 + y^2 = 4x2+y2=4

x2−y2=4x^2 - y^2 = 4x2−y2=4

x2+y2=2x^2 + y^2 = 2x2+y2=2
