Start with the given equation.

Rewrite as . Rewrite as

Now since for all "t", this means that

So and

-------------------------------------------------

Start with the first equation.

Take the square root of both sides.

Multiply both sides by 4.

Add 2 to both sides.

So the first parametric equation is

------------------------------------------------------------

Start with the first equation.

Take the square root of both sides.

Multiply both sides by 5.

Add 1 to both sides.

So the second parametric equation is
