  4. Coordinate Systems You need to know what parametric equations are Parametric equations are where the x and y coordinates of each point along a curve are written as functions of a third parameter (usually ‘t’) So: x = f(t) y = g(t) Coordinates on a curve can be defined using parametric equations Sketch the curve given by the following parametric equations: As with plotting any curve, you can start by finding a set of values  Choose values for t and calculate both x and y in these cases… t - 3 - 2 - 1 0 1 2 3 x = t 9 4 1 0 1 4 9 2 y = 4t - 12 - 8 - 4 0 4 8 12 Now you have a set of coordinates, you can plot them on a standard Cartesian axis 3A

  5. Coordinate Systems You need to know what parametric equations are Parametric equations are where the x and y coordinates of each point along a curve are written as functions of a third parameter (usually ‘t’) So: x = f(t) y = g(t) Coordinates on a curve can be defined using parametric equations t 0 1 2 3 9 4 1 0 1 4 9 y = 4t 0 4 8 12 y 10 - 3 - 2 - 1 x = t 2 - 12 - 8 - 4 x 10 -10 3A

  6. Coordinate Systems You need to know what parametric equations are A curve has parametric equations: Find the Cartesian equation of the curve • A Cartesian version of the equation will be written in terms of x and y only • It will usually have the y and x terms on separate sides of the equals sign… • To do this you will need to rewrite one of the equations in terms of t and substitute it into the other… Divide by 2a Now you can replace t in the other equation… Replace t Square the fraction Combine terms ‘Cancel’ an ‘a’ term from the top and bottom This is the general equation for a parabola! Multiply by 4a 3A

  7. Coordinate Systems You need to know what parametric equations are A curve has parametric equations: Find the Cartesian equation of the curve, and hence, sketch it… • The previous method will work here as well, but there is an alternative way you can combine the equations – you will have to use your judgement as to whether this will always work! • The top of the fraction will be positive, and hence the curve will take the reciprocal shape (you should recognise this from Core 1 and GCSE!) Multiplying the equations together will actually cancel the ‘t’ terms straight away! Combine the right hand side ‘Cancel’ the ‘t’ terms Divide by x 3A

  9. Coordinate Systems You need to know the general equation of a parabola, as well as its focus-directrix properties To the right is an example of a parabola with parametric equations: It will have a Cartesian equation in the form: where a is a positive constant.
