Stumped on Parametrics Question...

Hi,

I got an assignment and I'm close to the end but got stuck with one question that I tried but haven't been able to solve. I don't know how to solve it...any help is appreciated :)

Question is:
Find the Cartesian equation of the curve whose parametric equations are:
x=sin2t, y=cos^2(t)

Thanks,
