Polar Relationships:

x^2 + y^2 = r^2.

So:
sin(t) = x / r
cos(t) = y / r
sin(t) = x / sqrt(x^2 + y^2)

r = 2 + 2 sin(2t) (Assuming this is what is meant, as opposed to 2 + 2 sin^2(t))
sqrt(x^2 + y^2) = 2 + 2(sin(2t))
sqrt(x^2 + y^2) = 2 + 2(2 sin(t) + cos(t))
sqrt(x^2 + y^2) = 2 + 2(2(x / sqrt(x^2 + y^2)) + (y / sqrt(x^2 + y^2))
sqrt(x^2 + y^2) = 2 + 4x / sqrt(x^2 + y^2) + y / sqrt(x^2 + y^2)

Multiply by (x^2 + y^2)sqrt(x^2 + y^2)

(x^2 + y^2)^2 = 2((x^2 + y^2)sqrt(x^2 + y^2) + 4x(x^2 + y^2) + y(x^2 + y^2)
x^4 + y^4 + 2(x^2)(y^2) = (2x^2 + 2y^2)(x^2 + y^2)^(1/2) + 4x^3 + 4x(y^2) + (x^2)y + y^3
x^4 + y^4 - 4x^3 - y^3 + 2(x^2)(y^2) - (x^2)y - 4x(y^2) - (2x^2 + 2y^2)(x^2 + y^2)^(1/2) = 0

I think that is right...
HOLY &#$!, good work!
