Step 1Parametric equn of parabola  x  =  2  f  t  ;    y  =  f      t    2  Find t from first part  t  =      x          2      f      Plug it into second part  y  =  f            (              x                  2          f                    )              2      simplify  4  f  y  =      x    2  Both ways it represents the same curve.If t represents time we know how the speed of x,y components are individually represented. Here x speed is constant but y speed increase with time.

The parametric curve converted into a cartesian curve, when it is possible to do so, passes through all of the same points as the original. In that sense, it is an &quot;exact replica.&quot; The information lost is how fast the curve gets traced out. Depending on the situation, this piece of information may or may not be important.
