2. x = 3. x = 6 – t 4. x = ½t + 4
t-2
y = 4t + 5 y= 3t - 4 y = t3

5. x = 3 csc t 6. x = 4 sin (2t) 7. x = cos t


y = 3 cot2t y = 2 cos (2t) y = 2 sin2t

8. x = 4 sec t 9. x = 4 + 2 cos t 10. x = -4 + 3tan2t


y = 3 tan t y = -1 + 4 sin t y = 7 – 2 sec t
Write two new sets of parametric equations for the following rectangular equations.
11. y = (x + 2)3 – 4 12. x = y2 - 3

13. For the parametric equations x = t and y = t2

a) Sketch the graph.


b) Graph x = t – 1 and y = t2. How does this compare to the graph in part (a)?
c) Graph x = t and y = t2 – 3. How does this compare to the graph in part (a)?
d) Write parametric equations which will give the graph in part (a) a vertical stretch by
a factor of 2 and move the graph 5 units to the right. (Hint: Verify on your
calculator!)

14. Do the following sets of parametric equations cross at the same time so they collide or
do their paths just intersect? Justify your answer.

a) x1 = 3 – t and x2 = t + 19

y1 = t – 60 y2 = t + 12

b) x1 = 3 – t and x2 = 3 – 2t
y1 = 2t + 1 y2 = 2 + 3t

c) x1 = 4t and x2 = 5t - 6
y1 = ½t + 5 y2 = t + 2

15. Find the values of t that generated the graph described by the parametric equations:
x = t - 1 and y = ½t + 2
