Consider the parametric equations below.

x = t2 − 2, y = t + 1, −3 ≤ t ≤ 3

(a) Sketch the curve by using the parametric equations to plot points. Indicate with an arrow the direction in which the curve is traced as t increases.

(b) Eliminate the parameter to find a Cartesian equation of the curve. for −2 ≤ y ≤ 4
