10. Parametric Equations

Graph the plane curve formed by the parametric equations and indicate its orientation.

$x\left(t\right)=-t+1$;$y\left(t\right)=t^2$

$-2\le t\le 2$

Graph the plane curve formed by the parametric equations and indicate its orientation.

$x\left(t\right)=2t-1$; $y\left(t\right)=2\sqrt{t}$

$t\ge 0$

In Exercises 57–58, the parametric equations of four plane curves are given. Graph each plane curve and determine how they differ from each other. x = t and y = t² − 4

For each plane curve, (a) graph the curve, and (b) find a rectangular equation for the curve. See Examples 1 and 2.

x = t + 2 , y = t ―4 , for t in (― ∞ , ∞)

Graph each plane curve defined by the parametric equations for t in [0, 2π] Then find a rectangular equation for the plane curve. See Example 3.

x = 2 cos t , y = 2 sin t

Graph each plane curve defined by the parametric equations for t in [0, 2π] Then find a rectangular equation for the plane curve. See Example 3.

x = 4 sin t , y = 3 cos t
