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 = 2 + 4 cos t, y = −1 + 3 sin t; 0 ≤ t ≤ π

Identify the given parametric equations: \(x = 2 + 4 \cos t\) and \(y = -1 + 3 \sin t\), with the parameter \(t\) in the interval \(0 \leq t \leq \pi\).
Express \(\cos t\) and \(\sin t\) in terms of \(x\) and \(y\) by isolating them from the parametric equations: \(\cos t = \frac{x - 2}{4}\) and \(\sin t = \frac{y + 1}{3}\).
Use the Pythagorean identity \(\sin^2 t + \cos^2 t = 1\) to eliminate the parameter \(t\). Substitute the expressions for \(\cos t\) and \(\sin t\) into this identity:
\[\left(\frac{x - 2}{4}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{y + 1}{3}\right)^2 = 1.\]
Recognize that this equation represents an ellipse centered at \((2, -1)\) with semi-major axis 4 along the \(x\)-direction and semi-minor axis 3 along the \(y\)-direction. To sketch the curve, plot this ellipse and indicate the orientation by considering the direction of increasing \(t\) from \(0\) to \(\pi\), which corresponds to moving from the point where \(t=0\) (start) to \(t=\pi\) (end) along the ellipse.

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 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. Understanding how to manipulate these equations is essential for eliminating the parameter and analyzing the curve.

Parameterizing Equations

Eliminating the Parameter

Eliminating the parameter involves rewriting the parametric equations to form a single equation in x and y, removing t. This often uses trigonometric identities or algebraic manipulation, enabling the curve to be expressed in rectangular form. This step is crucial for sketching and understanding the geometric shape of the curve.

Orientation and Interval of the Parameter

The orientation of a parametric curve indicates the direction in which the curve is traced as the parameter t increases. The given interval for t (0 ≤ t ≤ π) restricts the portion of the curve to be considered. Arrows on the sketch show this direction, helping to visualize the motion or progression along the curve.
