Short Answer

In Exercises 24-34 sketch the parametric curve by eliminating the parameter.

x=sect,y=tant,t-π2,π2

The graphical representation by using the points(-1,0)(1,0)(2,-3)(2,3) is as follows,

Therefore, the equation after elimination of the parameter is x2-y2=1

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Given information

x=sect,y=tant,t-π2,π2

Step 2: Calculation

Consider the parametric equations x=sect,y=tant,t-π2,π2.

The objective is to sketch the parametric curve by eliminating the parameter.

Take the equation x=sect.

Square the equation on both sides.

x2=sec2t

Take the equation y=tant.

Square the equation on both sides. Then.

y2=tan2t

Now subtract the equation y2=tan2t from x2=sec2t.

Thus.

x2-y2=sec2t-tan2tx2-y2=1 since sec2t-tan2t=1

In order to draw the graph of the equation assume x=-1,1,2.

Substitute x=-1 in the equation x2-y2=1.

Then,

12-y2=11-y2=1y=0 simplify (x,y)=(-1,0)

Substitute x=1 in the equation x2-y2=1

Then.

(-1)2-y2=11-y2=1y=0 simplify (x,y)=(-1,0)

Substitute x=2 in the equation x2-y2=1.

Then,

22-y2=14-y2=1

Add -4 on both sides of the equation.

4-y2-4=1-44-y2-4--3-y2=-3y=3(x,y)=(2,-3)(2,3)

The graphical representation by using the points (-1,0)(1,0)(2,-3)(2,3) is as follows,

Therefore, the equation after elimination of the parameter is x2-y2=1
