Question
### (a) Sketch the Graph of the Parametric Curve

The given parametric equations are:
\[ x = 3 \sin t + 3 \]
\[ y = 2 \cos t \]
\[ \text{where } 0 \leq t \leq \pi \]

The task is to sketch the graph corresponding to these equations. 

#### Graphs Overview:
- **Top Left Graph**: Represents the top half-ellipse curve sweeping from left to right.
- **Top Right Graph**: Shows a complete closed ellipse.
- **Bottom Left Graph**: Displays the bottom half-ellipse mirror-inverted from the top.
- **Bottom Right Graph**: Illustrates the top half-ellipse sweeping from center to right.

Choice of the correct graph depends on how these parametric equations transform over the interval \( t \).

### (b) Eliminate the Parameter \( t \)

To find the rectangular form of the given parametric equations, eliminate the parameter \( t \):

Work through the relationships:
\[ x - 3 = 3 \sin t \]
\[ y = 2 \cos t \]

Identity to use:
\[ \sin^2 t + \cos^2 t = 1 \]

Substitute expressions:
\[ \left( \frac{x - 3}{3} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{y}{2} \right)^2 = 1 \]

The curve is an ellipse with the equation for the correct range of \( x \geq 3 \).
