"Eliminate the parameter. Write the resulting equation in standard form."

The given parametric equations are:
x=2+2cost,y=4+2sint.x = 2 + 2 \cos t, \quad y = 4 + 2 \sin t.

The answer choices are:

  1. (x2)24+(y4)24=1\frac{(x - 2)^2}{4} + \frac{(y - 4)^2}{4} = 1
  2. (x2)2+(y4)24=1(x - 2)^2 + \frac{(y - 4)^2}{4} = 1
  3. (x2)24+(y4)21=1\frac{(x - 2)^2}{4} + \frac{(y - 4)^2}{1} = 1
  4. (x2)2+(y4)2=1(x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2 = 1.

Solution:

  1. Start with the given equations:
    x=2+2costx = 2 + 2 \cos t and y=4+2sinty = 4 + 2 \sin t.

  2. Rewrite them to isolate cost\cos t and sint\sin t:
    cost=x22,sint=y42.\cos t = \frac{x - 2}{2}, \quad \sin t = \frac{y - 4}{2}.

  3. Use the Pythagorean identity:
    cos2t+sin2t=1.\cos^2 t + \sin^2 t = 1.

  4. Substitute cost\cos t and sint\sin t into the identity:
    (x22)2+(y42)2=1.\left(\frac{x - 2}{2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{y - 4}{2}\right)^2 = 1.

  5. Simplify:
    (x2)24+(y4)24=1.\frac{(x - 2)^2}{4} + \frac{(y - 4)^2}{4} = 1.

Final Answer:

The correct choice is Option 1: (x2)24+(y4)24=1\frac{(x - 2)^2}{4} + \frac{(y - 4)^2}{4} = 1.
