15–30. Working with parametric equations Consider the following parametric equations.
a. Eliminate the parameter to obtain an equation in x and y.
b. Describe the curve and indicate the positive orientation.


x = √t + 4, y = 3√t; 0 ≤ t ≤ 16

Identify the given parametric equations: \(x = \sqrt{t} + 4\) and \(y = 3\sqrt{t}\) with the parameter range \(0 \leq t \leq 16\).
Express \(\sqrt{t}\) from one of the equations to eliminate the parameter. For example, from \(y = 3\sqrt{t}\), solve for \(\sqrt{t}\): \(\sqrt{t} = \frac{y}{3}\).
Substitute \(\sqrt{t} = \frac{y}{3}\) into the equation for \(x\): \(x = \frac{y}{3} + 4\).
Rearrange the equation to express \(y\) in terms of \(x\): multiply both sides by 3 and isolate \(y\) to get \(y = 3(x - 4)\), which is the Cartesian equation of the curve.
To describe the curve, recognize that it is a straight line with slope 3 and y-intercept at \(y = -12\). The parameter \(t\) increases from 0 to 16, so \(\sqrt{t}\) increases from 0 to 4, meaning \(x\) increases from 4 to 8 and \(y\) increases from 0 to 12. This indicates the positive orientation is from the point \((4,0)\) to \((8,12)\) along the line.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Parametric Equations

Parametric equations express the coordinates of points on a curve as functions of a parameter, often denoted as t. Instead of y as a function of x, both x and y depend on t, allowing the description of more complex curves and motions.

Eliminating the Parameter

Eliminating the parameter involves manipulating the parametric equations to remove t, resulting in a direct relationship between x and y. This process helps to identify the Cartesian equation of the curve, making it easier to analyze its shape.

Curve Orientation and Domain

The orientation of a parametric curve is determined by the direction in which the parameter t increases. Understanding the domain of t is essential to describe the portion of the curve traced and to indicate the positive direction along the curve.
