Identifying Graphs


Match the parabolas in Exercises 1−4 with the following equations: x² = 2y, x² = −6y, y² = 8x, y² = −4x


Then find each parabola's focus and directrix.

Centroids

Find the coordinates of the centroid of the curve x = cos t, y = t + sin t, 0 ≤ t ≤ π.

Finding Cartesian from Parametric Equations

In Exercises 19–24, match the parametric equations with the parametric curves labeled A through F.

x = cos t, y = sin 3t

Finding Lengths of Polar Curves

Find the lengths of the curves in Exercises 21–28.

The curve r = cos³(θ/3), 0 ≤ θ ≤ π/4

Ellipses and Eccentricity

Exercises 9–12 give the foci or vertices and the eccentricities of ellipses centered at the origin of the xy-plane. In each case, find the ellipse’s standard-form equation in Cartesian coordinates.

Vertices: (±10,0)

Eccentricity: 0.24

Surface Area

Find the areas of the surfaces generated by revolving the curves in Exercises 31-34 about the indicated axes.

x = t + √2, y = (t²/2) + √2t, −√2 ≤ t ≤ √2; y−axis

Finding Polar Areas

Find the areas of the regions in Exercises 9–18.

Shared by the circles r = 1 and r = 2 sin θ
