Example Question #71 :Parametric Form

Convert the following parametric equation into rectangular form:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To convert from parametric to rectangular form, we must eliminate the parameter by finding t in terms of x or y:

Now, plug t into the equation for y:

Possible Answers:

,

,

,

,

Correct answer:

,

Explanation:

To see why the parametric equations

,

describe the circle

we do the following manipulation:

which means

or

which describes the circle of radius.

Example Question #80 :Parametric Form

What is not a way of parameterizing the ellipse

(Assume)

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The reason that the parametric equations

don't describe the ellipse

is because if do some algebraic manipulation, we get

which describes a different ellipse than

.
