Answer:

The motion of the particle describes an ellipse.

Step-by-step explanation:

The characteristics of the motion of the particle is derived by eliminating [tex]t[/tex] in the parametric expressions. Since both expressions are based on trigonometric functions, we proceed to use the following trigonometric identity:

[tex]\cos^{2} t + \sin^{2} t = 1[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]\cos t = \frac{y-3}{2}[/tex] (2)

[tex]\sin t = x - 1[/tex] (3)

By (2) and (3) in (1):

[tex]\left(\frac{y-3}{2} \right)^{2} + (x-1)^{2} = 1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{(x-1)^{2}}{1}+\frac{(y-3)^{2}}{4} = 1[/tex] (4)

The motion of the particle describes an ellipse.
