Answer

$x^{2}-y^{2}=1, \quad x\geq 1,\qquad y\geq 0$

Work Step by Step

From the parametric equations, $x\geq 1,\qquad y\geq 0$ Square both equations :$\left\{\begin{array}{l} x^{2}=t+1\\ y^{2}=t \end{array}\right.$ Substitute: $x^{2}=y^{2}+1, \quad x\geq 1,\qquad y\geq 0$ $x^{2}-y^{2}=1, \quad x\geq 1,\qquad y\geq 0$ (upper right wing of a hyperbola). To graph, create a table using several values for t, and then calculate $(x(t), y(t)),$ plotting the points as you go. Join with a smooth curve, noting the direction in which $t$ increases.
