Parametric Cubic Curves 1

(The tutorial solutions are also available)
  1. Determine a parametric cubic curve defined by the following four points.
    P(0)   = P1
    P(1/3) = P2
    P(2/3) = P3
    P(1)   = P4
    
    Give the basis matrix, the basis functions, and sketch an example of such a curve.

  2. Determine if the following two curves are:
    A(t) = (t,t^2), t in [0,1]
    B(t) = (2t+1, t^3+4t+1), t in [0,1]
