1. The circle (x − 4)2 + (y − 3)2 = 36 can be drawn with parametric equations. Assume the
circle is traced clockwise as the parameter increases. If x = 4 + 6 cos t, then find y and
the parameter interval.
( Answer: y = 3 + 6 sin t , −2π ≤ t ≤ 0 )
x = e2t y = e−9t
( Answer: y = 1/x9/2 )
x = t t2 − 3 , y = 8 t2 − 3
