Eliminate the parameter of a sideways parabola

The video tutorial discusses solving for T in equations, initially focusing on the X equation but noting its complexity due to multiple T terms. It suggests an alternative approach by solving for T in the Y equation, which simplifies the process. The tutorial then simplifies the equation for X and identifies the resulting curve as a horizontal parabola. It concludes with advice on when to solve for T in the X equation and when to use the Y equation.

What is a potential challenge when solving for T in the X equation?

• There is only one T term.

• The equation is always linear.

• There are multiple T terms, including quadratic and linear.

• The equation is already solved for T.

What is the result of substituting Y + 1 = T into the equation?

• A cubic equation

• A constant equation

• A quadratic equation

• A linear equation

What type of curve does the equation X = y^2 + 4Y + 3 represent?

• A hyperbola

• A circle

• A parabola

• An ellipse

How does flipping X and Y affect the orientation of a parabola?

• It opens to the right.

• It opens to the left.

• It opens downwards.

• It opens upwards.

What is the orientation of a parabola when X and Y are swapped?

• Circular

• Horizontal

• Diagonal

• Vertical
