Answer

(a) $III$ (b) $I$ (c) $IV$ (d) $II$

Work Step by Step

(a) As we can see in the $x =f(t)$ graph, $x$ can only have values greater than $1$. The only parametric curve that follows that rule is $III$. (b) According to the $x = f(t)$ and the $y = f(t)$ graph, the curve passes through $x=2$ exactly two times, and through $y = 2$ three times. The only parametric curve that does that is $I$ (c) According to the $x = f(t)$ and the $y = f(t)$ graph, the curve passes through $x=2$ exactly two times, and $y$ does not have negative values. The only parametric curve that follows these rules is $IV$ (d) According to the $x = f(t)$ and the $y = f(t)$ graph, the x value is temporarily constant at $x=2$. The only parametric curve that does that is $II$
