Unable to get the same curve as question with parametric equations

curvesgraphing-functionsparametrictrigonometry

my given task is to write a parametric equation to create this spiral curve with the parameters, $t \in [0, 1]$.

enter image description here

my answer is

$x = 0.8\cdot t\cdot\cos(-3.5\pi t)$
$y = 0.8 \cdot t\cdot\sin(-3.5\pi t)\ +\ 0.2$

However, I am unable to get the same curve. As you can see, the question's curve goes into the negative region of y-axis. But my curve doesn't. Also, I don't seem to touch the 0.6 point in y-axis.

I am using Desmos to test with my equations, but I can't seem to increase the "inner radius" of the spiral curve.

Could someone please point me out on what I am missing out please?

In a first round of $2\pi$ the parameter $t$ goes from $0$ to $0.5$ and the radius increase from $0.2$ to $0.6$, so \begin{align} x = \left(0.2+\frac{0.6-0.2}{0.5}t\right)\sin(4\pi t),\\ y = \left(0.2+\frac{0.6-0.2}{0.5}t\right)\cos(4\pi t),\\ \end{align} with $t\in[0,1].$
