Please help me to solve the following problem...

Eliminate the parameter to find a Cartesian equation of the curve. Then sketch the curve and be sure to indicate the direction of the curve.

x=tan(theta)+sec(theta), y=tan(theta)-sec(theta)

Please show your work - and tell us exactly where you are stuck.

You have posted 5 problems - which look very much like parts of take home test - without showing a line of work.
