Consider the family of curves described by the parametric equations x = a cos t + h , y = b sin t + k 0 ≤ t ≤ 2 π where a ≠ 0 and b ≠ 0. Describe the curves in this family if (a) h and k are fixed but a and b can vary (b) a and b are fixed but h and k can vary (c) a = 1 and b = 1 , but h and k vary so that h = k + 1.
