question 222

Multiple Choice

Give two parametric representations for the equation of the parabola.
- $$y = ( x + 1 ) ^ { 2 } - 8$$

• A) \(x = t , y = ( t - 1 ) ^ { 2 } - 8\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty ) ; x = t + 1 , y = t ^ { 2 } - 8\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty )\)
• B) \(x = t , y = ( t - 1 ) ^ { 2 } + 8\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty ) ; x = t - 1 , y = t ^ { 2 } - 8\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty )\)
• C) \(x = t , y = ( t + 1 ) ^ { 2 } - 8\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty ) ; x = t - 1 , y = t ^ { 2 } - 8\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty )\)
• D) \(x = t , y = ( t + 1 ) ^ { 2 } - 8\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty ) ; x = t + 1 , y = t ^ { 2 } - 8\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty )\)
