UTM Ideals Varieties and Algorithm - Chapter 1 Section 3 Exercise 2

Problem:


Solution:

The key trigonometry identity to use is the double angle formula:

$ \begin{eqnarray*} \cos(2t) &=& 2\cos^2(t) - 1 \\ y &=& 2x^2 - 1 \end{eqnarray*} $

This is a parabola with vertex $ (0, -1) $, it cuts the x-axis as $ (-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, 0) $ and $ (\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, 0) $.
As $ t \in [-\pi, \pi ] $, $ x \in [-1, 1] $, $ y \in [-1, 1] $.
