(a) Suppose that the equations x = f t , y = g t describe a curve C as t increases from 0 to 1. Find parametric equations that describe the same curve C but traced in the opposite direction as t increases from 0 to 1. (b) Check your work using the parametric graphing feature of a graphing utility by generating the line segment between (1, 2) and (4, 0) in both possible directions as t increases from 0 to 1.
