Section 9.1 : Parametric Equations and Curves

12. Write down a set of parametric equations for the following equation.

\[y = 3{x^2} - \ln \left( {4x + 2} \right)\] Show Solution

There really isn’t a lot to this problem. All we need to do is use the “formulas” right at the end of the notes for this section.

A set of parametric equations for the equation above are,

\[\begin{align*}x & = t\\ y & = 3{t^2} - \ln \left( {4t + 2} \right)\end{align*}\]
