(a) Find a vector-parametric equation for
the loop of the folium of Descartes curve
by letting be the point of intersection of the line
with the loop and solving for the coordinates of .
for all in the interval
(b) Is the loop parametrized clockwise or counterclockwise?
(c) As , does the point speed up, slow down, or
travel at a constant speed?
