Give any three points on each curve x 4t 3 y 2t 5 x cost
Give any three points on each curve: x = 4t - 3; y= 2t + 5 x = cost + 2; y = cos^2t-1
Solution
8).
to get any three points on the curve plug different values of t in \'x\' and \'y\'
let us say t=0
then x = 4t-3 = 4*0 -3
x=-3
y = 2*0 +5
y=5
so one point is (-3,5)
for other points t=1, t=2
you can plug any value for t
x =4-3=1
y=2+5=7
point is(1,7)
plug t=2
x=4*2 -3=5
y=2*2+5 =9
point is (5,9)
b). x=cost+2 and y= cos^2t -1
plug x=0
x =1+2=3
y= 1-1=0
point is (3,0)
plug x=pi/3
x=1/2 +2 = 5/2
y = (1/2)^2 -1 = -3/4
point is (5/2, -3/4)
plug x=pi/2
x = 0+2
y = 0 -1
point is (2,-1)
