question 220

Multiple Choice

Give two parametric representations for the equation of the parabola.
- $$y = ( x - 4 ) ^ { 2 } - 10$$

• A) \(x = t , y = ( t - 4 ) ^ { 2 } - 10\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty ) ; x = t - 4 , y = t ^ { 2 } - 10\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty )\)
• B) \(x = t , y = ( t - 4 ) ^ { 2 } - 10\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty ) ; x = t + 4 , y = t ^ { 2 } - 10\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty )\)
• C) \(x = t , y = ( t + 4 ) ^ { 2 } - 10\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty ) ; x = t + 4 , y = t ^ { 2 } - 10\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty )\)
• D) \(x = t , y = ( t + 4 ) ^ { 2 } - 10\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty ) ; x = t - 4 , y = t ^ { 2 } - 10\) for \(t\) in \(( - \infty , \infty )\)
