1. (3 pts) Sketch the curve given by the parametric equations $x = 2 + \sec\theta$ and $y = 1 + 2\tan\theta$ for $-\frac{\pi}{4} \le t \le \frac{\pi}{4}$. Determine the slope and concavity at the parameter $\theta = \frac{\pi}{6}$.

Sketch the curve represented by the parametric equations (indicate the orientation of the curve), and write the corresponding rectangular equation by climinating the parameter. $$x=\sec \theta, \quad y=\cos \theta, \quad 0 \leq \theta<\pi / 2, \quad \pi / 2<\theta \leq \pi$$
