Example Questions

Example Question #1 : Parametric Form

$\small x=3t+4$ and $\small y=1/t$ . What is $\small y$ in terms of $\small x$ (rectangular form)?

Possible Answers:

$\small y=(x-3)/4$

$\small y=3/(x-4)$

$\small y=4/(x-3)$

$\small y=(x-4)/3$

Correct answer:

$\small y=3/(x-4)$

Explanation:

In order to solve this, we must isolate $\small t$ in both equations.

$\small \small x=3t+4\rightarrow t=(x-4)/3$ and

$\small y=1/t\rightarrow t=1/y$ .

Now we can set the right side of those two equations equal to each other since they both equal $\small t$ .

$\small (x-4)/3=1/y$ .

By multiplying both sides by $\small 3y/(x-4)$ , we get $\small y=3/(x-4)$ , which is our equation in rectangular form.

Example Question #2 : Parametric Form

If x=3+t and y=4t+7 , what is in terms of (rectangular form)?

Possible Answers:

y=4x-3

y=4x-12

y=4x-2

y=4x-5

y=4x-7

Correct answer:

y=4x-5

Explanation:

Given x=3+t and y=4t+7 , we can find in terms of by isolating in both equations:

$x=3+t\rightarrow t=x-3$

$y=4t+7\rightarrow t=\frac{y-7}{4}$

Since both of these transformations equal , we can set them equal to each other:

$\frac{y-7}{4}=x-3$

y-7=4(x-3)

y-7=4x-12

y=4x-5

Example Question #2 : Parametric, Polar, And Vector

Given x=7t-5 and y=2t+9 , what is in terms of (rectangular form)?

Possible Answers:

None of the above

$y=\frac{5}{7}({x+2})+9$

$y=\frac{7}{2}({x+5})+9$

$y=\frac{2}{7}({x+5})+9$

$y=\frac{9}{7}({x+5})+2$

Correct answer:

$y=\frac{2}{7}({x+5})+9$

Explanation:

In order to find with respect to , we first isolate in both equations: $x=7t-5\rightarrow t=\frac{x+5}{7}$

$y=2t+9\rightarrow t=\frac{y-9}{2}$

Since both equations equal , we can then set them equal to each other and solve for :

$\frac{y-9}{2}=\frac{x+5}{7}$

${y-9}=2(\frac{x+5}{7})$

$y=\frac{2}{7}({x+5})+9$

Example Question #1 : Parametric

Given x=4t+9 and y=-t+2 , what is in terms of (rectangular form)?

Possible Answers:

$y=\frac{4-x}{17}$

$y=\frac{x-17}{4}$

$y=\frac{x-4}{17}$

$y=\frac{17-x}{4}$

None of the above

Correct answer:

$y=\frac{17-x}{4}$

Explanation:

In order to find with respect to , we first isolate in both equations: $x=4t+9\rightarrow t=\frac{x-9}{4}$

$y=-t+2\rightarrow t=2-y$

Since both equations equal , we can then set them equal to each other and solve for :

$2-y=\frac{x-9}{4}$

$y=2-\frac{x-9}{4}$

$y=\frac{8}{4}-\frac{x-9}{4}$

$y=\frac{8-(x-9)}{4}$

$y=\frac{8-x+9}{4}$

$y=\frac{17-x}{4}$

Example Question #1 : Parametric Form

Given x=10t-3 and y=7t+8 , what is in terms of (rectangular form)?

Possible Answers:

$y=\frac{3}{10}({x+7)+8$

None of the above

$y=\frac{8}{10}({x+3)+7$

$y=\frac{7}{10}({x+3)+8$

$y=\frac{8}{10}({x+7)+3$

Correct answer:

$y=\frac{7}{10}({x+3)+8$

Explanation:

In order to find with respect to , we first isolate in both equations:

$x=10t-3\rightarrow t=\frac{x+3}{10}$

$y=7t+8\rightarrow t=\frac{y-8}{7}$

Since both equations equal , we can then set them equal to each other and solve for :

$\frac{y-8}{7}=\frac{x+3}{10}$

$y-8=7(\frac{x+3}{10})$

$y=\frac{7}{10}({x+3)+8$

Example Question #1 : Parametric Form

If x=6t+5 and y=5t+6 , what is in terms of (rectangular form)?

Possible Answers:

$y=\frac{5}{6}(x-5)+6$

$y=\frac{5}{6}(x-6)+5$

$y=\frac{6}{5}(x-5)+6$

$y=\frac{6}{5}(x-6)+5$

None of the above

Correct answer:

$y=\frac{5}{6}(x-5)+6$

Explanation:

Given x=6t+5 and y=5t+6 , we can find in terms of by isolating in both equations:

$x=6t+5\rightarrow t=\frac{x-5}{6}$

$y=5t+6\rightarrow t=\frac{y-6}{5}$

Since both of these transformations equal , we can set them equal to each other:

$\frac{y-6}{5}=\frac{x-5}{6}$

${y-6}=5\left(\frac{x-5}{6}\right)$

$y=\frac{5}{6}(x-5)+6$

Explanation:

Given x=4t-3 and y=2t+7 , we can find in terms of by isolating in both equations:

$x=4t-3\rightarrow t=\frac{x+3}{4}$

$y=2t+7\rightarrow t=\frac{y-7}{2}$

Since both of these transformations equal , we can set them equal to each other:

$\frac{y-7}{2}=\frac{x+3}{4}$

$y-7=2\left(\frac{x+3}{4}\right)$

Explanation:

Knowing that x=9t-2 and y=5t+1 , we can isolate in both equations as follows:

$x=9t-2\rightarrow t=\frac{x+2}{9}$

$y=5t+1\rightarrow t=\frac{y-1}{5}$

Since both of these equations equal , we can set them equal to each other:

Possible Answers:

y=8x+128

y=8x+15

y=8x+131

y=8x+13

Correct answer:

y=8x+131

Explanation:

Knowing that x=t-16 and y=8t+3 , we can isolate in both equations as follows:

$x=t-16\rightarrow t=x+16$

$y=8t+3\rightarrow t=\frac{y-3}{8}$

Since both of these equations equal , we can set them equal to each other:

Possible Answers:

None of the above

y=7x-104

y=7-104x

y=104x-7

y=104-7x

Correct answer:

y=104-7x

Explanation:

Since we know x=14-t and y=7t+6 , we can solve each equation for :

$x=14-t\rightarrow t=14-x$

$y=7t+6\rightarrow t=\frac{y-6}{7}$

Since both equations equal , we can set them equal to each other and solve for :

$\frac{y-6}{7}=14-x$

y-6=7(14-x)

y-6=98-7x

y=104-7x
