Introduction
• There are interesting curves which, when plotted in the xyplane
• neither represent y as a function of x • nor x as a function of y. • In this section, we present a new concept which allows
us to use functions to study these kinds of curves.

Motivation • Imagine a bug crawling across a table top starting at
the point O and tracing out a curve C in the plane• The bug can be in only one place P(x,y) at any given
time t• We define • the xcoordinate of P as a function of t• The ycoordinate of P as a (usually) different function of
t.

Parametrization • The independent variable t in this case is called a
parameter• The system of equations
is called a system of parametric equations or a parametrization of the curve C

Orientation • The curve itself is a set of points and as such is devoid of
any orientation. • The parametrization determines the orientation• Different parametrizations can determine different
orientations. • The system of equations
• parametrizes the Unit Circle, giving it a counterclockwise orientation.

Parameter Elimination • The curve sketched out in Example certainly looks like a
parabola,• We can use the technique of substitution as to eliminate
the parameter t and get an equation involving just x and y.
• If the parametrization involves the trigonometric functions, it is often best to solve for the trigonometric functions and relate them using an identity.

Find a parametrization for the following curvesThe curve which starts at (2,4) and follows the parabola y = x2 to end at (1,1). Shift the parameter so that the path starts at t=0.
The two part path which starts at (0,0), travels along a line to (3,4), then travels along a line to (5,0).
The Unit Circle, oriented clockwise, with t=0 corresponding to (0,1).
