Parametric Equation HW

This document contains 7 questions about parametric equations and curves. Question 1 asks to write a curve's cartesian equation in the form y=f(x) given its parametric equations. Question 2 asks to find the coordinates of a point where a line intersects a curve. Question 3 asks to find a cartesian equation for a curve in the form y=f(x) and the range of f(x). Question 4 asks to find a cartesian equation for a curve in the form y^2=f(x). Questions 5-6 similarly ask to write curves parametrically defined in cartesian form. Question 7 asks to find the coordinates of a point where two curves intersect.
