Introduction
Parametric equations express a set of related quantities as explicit functions of an

independent variable, known as a parameter. An equation, relating variables x and y in
Cartesian coordinates, can be expressed by parametric equations which describe a
position on the curve.
Find information about parametric equations yourself.

Question 2
(a) Three sets of parametric equations.
<img src="//s0.wp.com/latex.php?latex=x%3Dt

alt="x=4t^2+49, y=2t+1, t\in R" title="x=4t^2+49, y=2t+1, t\in R" class="latex" />
Let me know if you know more.
(b)
<img src="//s0.wp.com/latex.php?latex=x%3D-t
%5E2&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=0" alt="x=-t^2" title="x=-t^2" class="latex" />

is impossible to be chosen as the parametric equation for <img
latex=x&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=0" alt="x" title="x" class="latex" /> because

<img src="//s0.wp.com/latex.php?latex=x49+&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=0" alt="x-49 " title="x-49 " class="latex" />
must be always positive as
<img src="//s0.wp.com/latex.php?latex=%28y-
1%29%5E2+%5Cgeq+0&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=0" alt="(y-1)^2 \geq 0"

title="(y-1)^2 \geq 0" class="latex" /> for every values of <img
latex=y&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=0" alt="y" title="y" class="latex" />. We can
start with any choice for the parametric equation for <img
latex=x&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=0" alt="x" title="x" class="latex" /> as long
as
<img src="//s0.wp.com/latex.php?latex=x-
49&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=0" alt="x-49" title="x-49" class="latex" /> is not

negative.
(c) Basically, we can start with any choice for the parametric equation for <img

latex=y&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=0" alt="y" title="y" class="latex" /> because
<img src="//s0.wp.com/latex.php?latex=x%3D%28y1%29%5E2%2B49&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=0" alt="x=(y-1)^2+49"
title="x=(y-1)^2+49" class="latex" />.
Question 3
(a) The curve in pink is
<img src="//s0.wp.com/latex.php?
latex=2%5Csin+t%2C+y%3D3%5Ccos+t&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=0"
alt="2\sin t, y=3\cos t" title="2\sin t, y=3\cos t" class="latex" />. And
the curve in black is
<img src="//s0.wp.com/latex.php?
latex=x%3D%5Ccos+t+-2%2C+y%3D1%2B
%5Csin+t&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=0" alt="x=\cos t -2, y=1+\sin t"
title="x=\cos t -2, y=1+\sin t" class="latex" />.
<img src="http://i0.wp.com/kkleemaths.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/question3a.png?w=1080" alt="Question 3a" data-recalc-dims="1" />

(b) Based on the graph above, there are two points of intersection.
(c) To determine whether the particles collide, we need to solve the simultaneous
equations from the parametric equations. Please remember the particles does not
collide even you are able to solve the equations. You must verify the values. Collision
happens only when positions are the same with same <img

latex=t&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=0" alt="t" title="t" class="latex" />.
<img src="http://i1.wp.com/kkleemaths.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/question3c.png?w=1080" alt="Simultaneous equation for 3c" data-recalc-dims="1" />
Verification
<img src="http://i2.wp.com/kkleemaths.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/question-3cverification.png?w=1080" alt="Question 3c Checking" data-recalc-dims="1" />

Hence, the particles collide at
<img src="//s0.wp.com/latex.php?latex=t%3D
%5Cfrac%7B3%5Cpi%7D%7B2%7D&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=0"
alt="t=\frac{3\pi}{2}" title="t=\frac{3\pi}{2}" class="latex" />.
<img src="http://i0.wp.com/kkleemaths.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/question3ca.png?w=1080" alt="Checking again" data-recalc-dims="1" />

Hence, the particles do not collide.
Please do yourself for
<img src="//s0.wp.com/latex.php?latex=y
%3D0&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=0" alt="y=0" title="y=0" class="latex" /> and

<img src="//s0.wp.com/latex.php?latex=y%3D%5Cfrac%7B9%7D
%7B5%7D&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=0" alt="y=\frac{9}{5}"
title="y=\frac{9}{5}" class="latex" />.
The particles collide at only 1 point.
