Math 53 Lecture #1 – 8/26/15
Section 10.1 – Curves defined by parametric equaions
-Distinguish between curve, set of points, and parametric curve, where pattern changes
Two different sets can be made depending on order; (x = cost, y = sint) vs (x = sint, y = cost)
If restrict th parameter to [a,b] the f(a),g9a) is initial and f(b),g(b) is terminal point
Eliminating parameter possible, ields info about shape of curve
Can create a parameter artificially in order to get a graphing device to graph curve;
