In Exercises 21–40, eliminate the parameter t. Then use the rectangular equation to sketch the plane curve represented by the given parametric equations. Use arrows to show the orientation of the curve corresponding to increasing values of t. (If an interval for t is not specified, assume that −∞ < t < ∞. x = t, y = 2t

Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the complex number in the denominator: \(3 - i\).
To divide by a complex number, multiply both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. The conjugate of \(3 - i\) is \(3 + i\).
Multiply numerator and denominator by \(3 + i\): \(\frac{2}{3 - i} \times \frac{3 + i}{3 + i} = \frac{2(3 + i)}{(3 - i)(3 + i)}\).
Expand the numerator: \(2(3 + i) = 6 + 2i\).
Expand the denominator using the difference of squares formula: \((3 - i)(3 + i) = 3^2 - (i)^2 = 9 - (-1) = 9 + 1 = 10\).

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Complex Number Standard Form
A complex number is expressed in standard form as a + bi, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part. Writing results in this form helps clearly separate the real and imaginary components, making it easier to interpret and use in further calculations.

Division of Complex Numbers
Dividing complex numbers involves multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator to eliminate the imaginary part in the denominator. This process converts the division into a simpler form that can be expressed as a standard complex number.

Complex Conjugate
The complex conjugate of a number a + bi is a - bi. Multiplying by the conjugate removes the imaginary part from the denominator because (a + bi)(a - bi) equals a² + b², a real number. This technique is essential for simplifying complex fractions.
