Question 1 of 10 • Precalculus
Which graph represents the parametric equations x(t) = t – 4 and y(t) = t2 + 5 for –1 ≤ t ≤ 2?
Answer
A
On a coordinate plane, a curve starts at (negative 5, 4), curves up to (negative 4, 5), and then curves down to (negative 2, 1).
B
On a coordinate plane, a curve starts at (negative 3, 4), curves up to (negative 4, 5), and curves down to (negative 6, 1).
C
On a coordinate plane, a curve starts at (negative 5, 6), curves down to (negative 4, 5), and then curves up to (negative 2, 9).
D
On a coordinate plane, a curve starts at (negative 3, 6), curves down to (negative 4, 5), and curves up to (negative 6, 9).
