Question:

Rewrite in rectangular form

 x  e 2t 
x = e ^ 2t and y = e ^ -1  t 
.
ye 

The answer:

The default expressions are presented in the parametric form.

To rewrite the function set in the parametric form into the rectangular form we have to rewrite in the
form y ( x) . The expressions for x and y can be represented as x  x(t ) and y  y (t ) . Now we
can rewrite it so that we could eliminate the parameter t from the expressions x(t ) and y (t ) . The
obtained values for the parameter t are equalized and the obtained equality is then brought to form
y  f ( x) .

From the expression x(t )  e2t we will determine t according to the following procedure:

x(t )  e2t
now we logarithm left and right side with natural logarithm to solve the
bases of potentials e 2t
ln( x(t ))  ln(e2t )
now we get
ln( x(t ))  e 2t

1
multiply the left and right sides with
2
1 1
 ln( x(t ))   2t
2 2 finally we have the result for parameter t
1
t   ln( x(t ))
2

We should add the obtained value to y  y (t ) and we would immediately get the expression containing
y and x and the parameter t no longer existed.

However!!! Here the expression for y  y(t )  e1 is not dependent on parameter t and has a constant
value for any parameter t value.

Thus, by eliminating the parameter t from one expression and substituting in another expression of the
thus obtained parameter t , we can not get the expression y ( x) in rectangular form.

That's why we use another approach. We will show the table where we will determine the values for
x(t ) and y (t ) for the given parameter values t . For the parameter values t we will only take some
characteristic values, eg t  0; t  1; t  1; t  ; t   .
x  x(t )  e2t
y  y (t )  e1

t x  x(t )  e2t y  y(t )  e1

0 e 20  e0  1 1
e 1 
e
1 1 1
e2( 1)  e2  e 1 
e2 e
1 e 2( 1)  e 2 1
e 1 
e
 1 1 1
e2(  )  e  
 0 e 1 
e  e
 e2(  ) 
 e   1
e 1 
e

Observing the obtained values for x  x(t ) and y  y (t ) in the table we can conclude that the values
for x  x(t ) range from 0 to  , that is, the domain of x(t ) is equal to  0;   . We can also see
that the value for y  y (t ) is equal to all the values of parameter t from  ;   and therefore
for all values of x from  0;   . Now we can see that the value for y (t ) is not defined for x  0 .

Now we can rewrite our expression in the parametric form into rectangular form as

y ( x)  e1 for each x from interval  0;  

which is the solution to the task.
