  1. 1.4 Parametric Equations Date Calculus AB Ms. Brewer

  2. Vocab/Formulas • Relation: set of ordered pairs (x,y) of real numbers. • If x and y are functions of t (the parameter), you can use parametric mode in a calculator.

  3. Example 1: Graph the half parabola using the parametric equations. t x y Initial Point: Terminal Point: Direction in which curve is traced: Your calculator can only draw a parametric curve in a closed interval even when the curve has no endpoints!

  4. Example 1: Find a Cartesian equation for the curve.

  5. Vocab/Formulas • Parametric Curve and Equations: If x and y are given as functions over an interval of t-values, then the set of points (x,y)=(f(t),g(t)) defined by these equations is a parametric curve. The equations are parametric equations. • Parameter: t when a ≤ t ≤ b Parameter Interval

  6. Parameterizing Circles and Ellipses • Circles: • Ellipses:

  7. Example 2: Graph the parametric curve

  8. Example 3: Draw and identify the graph of the parametric curve determined by:

  9. Example 3: Confirm algebraically that this is a line.

  10. Example 4: Graph the “Witch of Agnesi”. See the history of Maria Gaetana Agnesi on pg. 33

  11. Example 5: Find a parameterization for the line segment with endpoints (-2,1) and (3,5)
