The curve described parametrically by x = t2 + 2t - 1, y = 3t + 5 represents :

  • an ellipse

  • a hyperbola

  • a parabola

  • a circle


C.

a parabola

Given that

      x = t2 + 2t - 1         ...(i)

and y = 3t + 5             ...(ii)

    t = y - 53

On putting the value oft in Eq. (i), we get

      x = y - 532 + 2y - 53 - 1 x = 19y2 - 10y + 25 + 23y - 5 - 1 x = 19y2 - 10y + 25 + 6y - 30 - 9        = 19y 2 - 4y - 14 9x + 14 = y2 - 4y + 4 - 4 9x + 18 = y - 22 y - 22 = 9x + 2

This is an equation of a parabola. Hence, given parametric equations represents a parabola.
