Answer

1) $x=t; y=t^2+1,-\infty\lt t\lt \infty$ 2) $x=-t; y=t^2+1,-\infty\lt t\lt \infty$

Work Step by Step

We are given the rectangular equation: $y=x^2+1$ One set of parametric equations is: $\begin{cases} x=t\\ y=t^2+1 \end{cases}$ with $-\infty\lt t\lt \infty$ Another set of parametric equations is: $\begin{cases} x=-t\\ y=t^2+1 \end{cases}$ with $-\infty\lt t\lt \infty$
