(a)
To Find: The parametric curve definition
(a)
Explanation of Solution
Write the definition of the parametric curve.
The parametric curve is defined as the set of points in the plane (the parametric equations of
(b)
To define: The sketch of a parametric curve.
(b)
Explanation of Solution
Define the sketch the parametric curve.
Here,
The expression is given as
Therefore, for determining the tangent of the curve, the above derivative equation is to be evaluated to define the parametric curve.
