Answer

1) $x=t; y=t^2,t\geq 0$ 2) $x=\sqrt t; y=t,t\geq 0$

Work Step by Step

We are given the rectangular equation: $x=\sqrt y$ One set of parametric equations is: $\begin{cases} x=t\\ y=t^2 \end{cases}$ with $t\geq 0$ Another set of parametric equations is: $\begin{cases} x=\sqrt t\\ y=t \end{cases}$ with $t\geq 0$
