Question

At the beginning of the task, we notice that the given equation is the equation of the circle with the center at the origin and the radius r=2r=2.

Since the particle moves on the upper part of the circle, then we will draw only the part of the circle that is above the xx-axis.

How do we write a circle as a parametric equation?
