How would the graphs of
a)
x=t
y=2t+1
b)
x=e^t
y=2e^t +1
c)
x=cos(t)
y=2cos(t)+1

Sorry about all the questions im just stuck on some questions on this test review and this is by far one of the most helpful sites.
Every one of these can be transformed into the linear equation y= 2x + 1.....the behavior [ and definition] of the last two differs slightly from the first "parent" graph
Here's a graph of the first one...it's the same graph as y = 2x + 1
Here's a graph of the second :
Notice that it's very similar to the first, except that it is not defined for any x less than or equal to 0 because an exponential can never be 0 or negative......thus, we might say that this graph is the first quadrant representation of the first one where x > 0
Here's the last one :
Note that this one is a "truncated" graph of the first....at t =0, we have the point (1,3).....then, as t increases from 0 to pi/2, the motion is back towards the y axis [an x axis, as well] until we get to the point (0, 1).....as t increases from pi/2 to pi......the motion proceeds to (-1, -1).....from pi to 3pi/2 the motion now proceeds back to (0,1).....and as t increases from 3pi/2 to 2pi, the motion proceeds back to the starting point of (1,3).....this oscillation continues infinitely.....
Hope that helps some.....!!!!
