1.2

x=2+3y+1,x=2+3y+1, or y=−1+3x−2.y=−1+3x−2. This equation describes a portion of a rectangular hyperbola centered at (2,−1).(2,−1).

1.3

One possibility is x(t)=t,y(t)=t2+2t.x(t)=t,y(t)=t2+2t. Another possibility is x(t)=2t−3,y(t)=(2t−3)2+2(2t−3)=4t2−8t+3.x(t)=2t−3,y(t)=(2t−3)2+2(2t−3)=4t2−8t+3.

There are, in fact, an infinite number of possibilities.

1.4

x′(t)=2t−4x′(t)=2t−4 and y′(t)=6t2−6,y′(t)=6t2−6, so dydx=6t2−62t−4=3t2−3t−2.dydx=6t2−62t−4=3t2−3t−2.
This expression is undefined when t=2t=2 and equal to zero when t=±1.t=±1.

1.5

The equation of the tangent line is y=24x+100.y=24x+100.

1.6

d2ydx2=3t2−12t+32(t−2)3.d2ydx2=3t2−12t+32(t−2)3. Critical points (5,4),(−3,−4),and(−4,4).(5,4),(−3,−4),and(−4,4).

1.7

A=3πA=3π (Note that the integral formula actually yields a negative answer. This is due to the fact that x(t)x(t) is a decreasing function over the interval [0,2π];[0,2π]; that is, the curve is traced from right to left.)

1.8

s = 2 ( 10 3 / 2 − 2 3 / 2 ) ≈ 57.589 s = 2 ( 10 3 / 2 − 2 3 / 2 ) ≈ 57.589

The name of this shape is a cardioid, which we will study further later in this section.

1.13

1.14

1.15

1.16

(x+1)216+(y−2)29=1(x+1)216+(y−2)29=1

1.20

(y+2)29−(x−1)24=1.(y+2)29−(x−1)24=1. This is a vertical hyperbola. Asymptotes y=−2±32(x−1).y=−2±32(x−1).

1.21

e = c a = 74 7 ≈ 1.229 e = c a = 74 7 ≈ 1.229

1.22

Here e=0.8e=0.8 and p=5.p=5. This conic section is an ellipse.

1.23

The conic is a hyperbola and the angle of rotation of the axes is θ=22.5°.θ=22.5°.
