Eliminate the parameter t to rewrite the parametric equation as a Cartesian equation. x(t) cos(t) 6 y(t) 8 sin (t) Additional Materials eBook H Converting Parametric Equations to Rectangular Form Learn by Example 1. O -1 points OSPreCalc1 8.6.396. 0/6 Submissions Used Eliminate the parameter t to rewrite the parametric equation as a Cartesian equation. x(t) -t
Solution
x(t)=cos t + 6
cos t=x(t)-6
cos2t=(x(t)-6)2
y(t)=8sin2t
sin2t=y(t)/8
adding both equations
cos2t + sin2t= x2+36-12x + y/8
-35= x2-12x +y/8
8x2-96x+y+280=0
