Find parametric equations for the following curves. Include an interval for the parameter values. Answers are not unique. The upper half of the parabola \(x=y^{2}\), originating at \((0,0)\)
Consider the following Lissajous curves. Graph the curve and estimate the coordinates of the points on the curve at which there is (a) a horizontal tangent line and (b) a vertical tangent line. (See the Guided Project Parametric art for more on Lissajous curves.) $$\begin{aligned}&x=\sin 2 t, y=2 \sin t\\\&0 \leq t \leq 2 \pi\end{aligned}$$
The Lamé curve described by \(\left|\frac{x}{a}\right|^{n}+\left|\frac{y}{b}\right|^{n}=1,\) where \(a, b,\) and \(n\) are positive real numbers, is a generalization of an ellipse. a. Express this equation in parametric form (four pairs of equations are needed). b. Graph the curve for \(a=4\) and \(b=2,\) for various values of \(n\) c. Describe how the curves change as \(n\) increases.
Find an equation of the line tangent to the hyperbola \(x^{2} / a^{2}-y^{2} / b^{2}=1\) at the point \(\left(x_{0}, y_{0}\right)\)
Find real numbers a and b such that equations \(A\) and \(B\) describe the same curve. \(A: x=t+t^{3}, y=3+t^{2} ;-2 \leq t \leq 2\) \(B: x=t^{1 / 3}+t, y=3+t^{2 / 3} ; a \leq t \leq b\)
