Answer

a. This is the graph of the given parameter: b. $x=y^{2}-4y+1$, -$1\leq y\leq5$

Work Step by Step

Using the given equations, x=$t^{2}$-3 and y=t+2 create a table of values in terms of x and y, using values of t within the given interval (−3$\leq$t$\leq$3). Then, plot the calculated points from the lowest t value to the highest t value. This will give the direction of the curve. b. $y=t+2$ $t=y-2$ ......(1) $x=t^{2}-3$.....(2) by substituting (1) into (2): $x=(y-2)^{2}-3=y^{2}-4y+4-3$ so, $x=y^{2}-4y+1, -1\leq y\leq 5$
