Question:

Consider the following parametric equations.

a. Make a brief table of values of t, x, and y.

b. Plot the (x, y) pairs in the table and the complete parametric curve, indicating the positive orientation (the direction of increasing t). 

c. Eliminate the parameter to obtain an equation in x and y.

d. Describe the curve.

x = t3 - 1, y = 5t + 1; -3 ≤ t ≤ 3
