The curves defined by the parametric equations\[x=\frac{t^{2}-c}{t^{2}+1} \quad y=\frac{t\left(t^{2}-c\right)}{t^{2}+1}\]are called strophoids (from a Greek word meaning "to turn or twist"). Investigate how these curves vary as $c$ varies.

Question
The curves defined by the parametric equations
\[
x=\frac{t^{2}-c}{t^{2}+1} \quad y=\frac{t\left(t^{2}-c\right)}{t^{2}+1}
\]
are called strophoids (from a Greek word meaning "to turn or twist"). Investigate how these curves vary as $c$ varies.
Expert Solution
Introduction
As per the question we are given the following parametic equation of the family of curves called strophoids :
x(t) = (t2 - c)/(t2 + 1) , y(t) = t(t2 - c)/(t2 + 1)
Now we have to investigate the nature of the curve as the parameter c varies.
