Answer 4

by ^2 both sides of x and adding 1 I got
1+x^2=sec^2t
But i'm not sure if that made it better or worse

Answer 5

sketch what curve??

Answer 6

The curve we'll get from the equation we make. It says "sketch the curve represented by the parametric equations"
but I find it's easier to start with b

Answer 8

@dan815 :)

Answer 9

so
"x=tant, y=cot t "

you see anything in that?!?!

Answer 10

er well
it's the reciprocal

Answer 11

x=sint/cost
y=1/(sint/cost)

Answer 12

oo so
y=1/x ??
