Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) parabola

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hints: \(x=2 t^2+4, y=4 t+6, \quad y=4 t+6 \rightarrow t=\left(\frac{y-6}{4}\right)\) \(\begin{aligned} & x=2\left(\frac{y-6}{4}\right)^2+4 \Rightarrow \frac{(y-6)^2}{8}=x-4 \\ & (y-6)^2=4(2)(x-4) \end{aligned}\)
