Part 2: Write and use the rectangular form of the parametric equations.
1. Using the equations from Part 1, eliminate the parameter, and write the rectangular form of the
equation. (10 points)
2. Use the rectangular equation to show the elevation that a group can expect to reach after hiking 8
miles. Then determine the time it will take the group to get to
that point on the mountain. (6 points)
3. Use the rectangular equation to show approximately how far a group can expect to hike before
reaching an elevation of 12,000 feet. (4
points)
