6.3 Parametric Equations and Motion
What you’ll learn about • Parametric Equations • Parametric Curves • Eliminating the Parameter • Lines and Line Segments • Simulating Motion with a Grapher … and why These topics can be used to model the path of an object such as a baseball or golf ball.
Parametric Curve, Parametric Equations The graph of the ordered pairs (x,y) where x = f(t) and y = g(t) are functions defined on an interval I of t-values is a parametric curve. The equations are parametric equations for the curve, the variable t is a parameter, and I is the parameter interval.
