Question

Write in Cartesian form:

$x = 3t, y = 2t^{2}$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

, so

$x^{2} = (3t)^{2} = 9t^{2} = \frac{9}{2} \cdot 2t^{2} = \frac{9}{2} y$ .

$\frac{9}{2} y= x^{2}$ , so

$\frac{2}{9}\cdot \frac{9}{2} y = \frac{2}{9}x^{2}$

$y = \frac{2}{9}x^{2}$

Question

Rewrite as a Cartesian equation:

$x = t^{2} + 2t + 1, y = t^{2} - 2t + 1, t \in [-1, 1]$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

$x = t^{2} + 2t + 1$

$x = \left ( t + 1\right )^{2}$

$\pm \sqrt{x} = t + 1$

So

$\sqrt{x} = t + 1$ or $-\sqrt{x} = t + 1$

We are restricting to values on $\left [ -1, 1\right ]$ , so is nonnegative; we choose

$\sqrt{x} = t + 1$ .

Also,

$y = t^{2} - 2t + 1$

$y= \left ( t - 1\right )^{2}$

$\sqrt{y} = \pm \left ( t - 1\right )$

So

$\sqrt{y} = t- 1$ or $-\sqrt{y} = t- 1$

We are restricting to values on $\left [ -1, 1\right ]$ , so is nonpositive; we choose

$-\sqrt{y} = t- 1$

or equivalently,

$\sqrt{y} = -t+ 1$

to make nonpositive.

Then,

$\sqrt{x}+ \sqrt{y} = (t + 1) + (-t + 1)$

and

$\sqrt{x}+ \sqrt{y} = 2$

$\sqrt{y} = 2 - \sqrt{x}$

$y =\left ( 2 - \sqrt{x} \right )^2$

$y = 4 - 4\sqrt{x} + \left (\sqrt{x} \right )^{2}$

$y = x + 4 - 4\sqrt{x}$

Question

Write in Cartesian form:

$x = \ln (t+1)$

$t \in (-1, \infty )$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

$x = \ln (t+1)$

so

$e ^{x} = \left [ \ln (t+1) \right ] ^{x}$

$e ^{x} = t + 1$

$y = t^2 + 2t + 2 = t^2 + 2t + 1 + 1 = (t + 1)^{2}+ 1 = \left (e^{x} \right )^{2} + 1 = e^{2x} + 1$

Therefore the Cartesian equation is $y = e^{2x} + 1$ .

Question

Write in Cartesian form:

$x = \cos 2t, y = \sin t$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Rewrite using the double-angle formula:

$x = \cos 2t =1 - 2\sin ^{2} t = 1 - 2y^{2}$

Then

$x = 1 - 2y^{2}$

$x + 2y^{2} = 1$

which is the correct choice.

Question

Rewrite as a Cartesian equation:

$x =10^ {t}, y = \sinh t, t \in (0,\infty )$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

$y = \sinh t = \frac{e ^{2t} -1}{2e ^{t}} = \frac{\left (e ^{ t} \right) ^{2} -1}{2e ^{t}}$

$e^{t} = 10 ^{\log e \cdot t} =\left ( 10 ^{ t} \right )^{\log e} = x ^{\log e}$ , so

$y = \frac{\left ( x ^{\log e} \right) ^{2} -1}{2 x ^{\log e}}= \frac{ x ^{2 \log e} -1}{2 x ^{\log e}}$

This makes the Cartesian equation

$y = \frac{ x ^{2 \log e} -1}{2 x ^{\log e}}$ .

Question

$\small x=3t+4$ and $\small y=1/t$ . What is $\small y$ in terms of $\small x$ (rectangular form)?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

In order to solve this, we must isolate $\small t$ in both equations.

$\small \small x=3t+4\rightarrow t=(x-4)/3$ and

$\small y=1/t\rightarrow t=1/y$ .

Now we can set the right side of those two equations equal to each other since they both equal $\small t$ .

$\small (x-4)/3=1/y$ .

By multiplying both sides by $\small 3y/(x-4)$ , we get $\small y=3/(x-4)$ , which is our equation in rectangular form.

Question

Given $x=\frac{2}{t}+6$ and $y=\frac{3}{t}-9$ , what is in terms of (rectangular form)?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

We know $x=\frac{2}{t}+6$ and $y=\frac{3}{t}-9$ , so we can solve both equations for :

$x=\frac{2}{t}+6\rightarrow t=\frac{2}{x-6}$

$y=\frac{3}{t}-9\rightarrow t=\frac{3}{y+9}$

Since both equations equal , let's set both equations equal to each other and solve for :

$\frac{3}{y+9}=\frac{2}{x-6}$

$\frac{3}2{}(x-6)=y+9$

$\frac{3}2{}(x-6)-9=y$

$y=\frac{3}2x-\frac{18}{2}-9$

$y=\frac{3}2x-9-9$

$y=\frac{3}2x-18$
