Step 1:
\(a)
\he parametric equations are and
.
Eliminate the parameter :
Consider .
Consider .
Pythagorean identity :
Substitute and
in above equation.
.
Compare the above equation with standard form of ellipse .
where is the center of the ellipse,
is the length of the major axis and
is the length of the minor axis.
The distance between center and vertex is .
The distance between center and focus is .
.
Center :
.
Thus, the graph of the equation represents an ellipse.
\Graph the ellipse.
