10.7 Parametric equations: graphs  (Page 3/4)

 Page 3 / 4

Access the following online resource for additional instruction and practice with graphs of parametric equations.

Key concepts

• When there is a third variable, a third parameter on which $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}y\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ depend, parametric equations can be used.
• To graph parametric equations by plotting points, make a table with three columns labeled $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}t,x\left(t\right),\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}y\left(t\right).\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ Choose values for $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}t\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ in increasing order. Plot the last two columns for $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}y.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ See [link] and [link] .
• When graphing a parametric curve by plotting points, note the associated t -values and show arrows on the graph indicating the orientation of the curve. See [link] and [link] .
• Parametric equations allow the direction or the orientation of the curve to be shown on the graph. Equations that are not functions can be graphed and used in many applications involving motion. See [link] .
• Projectile motion depends on two parametric equations: $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x=\left({v}_{0}\mathrm{cos}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\theta \right)t\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}y=-16{t}^{2}+\left({v}_{0}\mathrm{sin}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\theta \right)t+h.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ Initial velocity is symbolized as $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{v}_{0}.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\theta$ represents the initial angle of the object when thrown, and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}h\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ represents the height at which the object is propelled.

Verbal

What are two methods used to graph parametric equations?

plotting points with the orientation arrow and a graphing calculator

What is one difference in point-plotting parametric equations compared to Cartesian equations?

Why are some graphs drawn with arrows?

The arrows show the orientation, the direction of motion according to increasing values of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}t.$

Name a few common types of graphs of parametric equations.

Why are parametric graphs important in understanding projectile motion?

The parametric equations show the different vertical and horizontal motions over time.

Graphical

For the following exercises, graph each set of parametric equations by making a table of values. Include the orientation on the graph.

what is the formula for calculating algebraic
I think the formula for calculating algebraic is the statement of the equality of two expression stimulate by a set of addition, multiplication, soustraction, division, raising to a power and extraction of Root. U believe by having those in the equation you will be in measure to calculate it
Miranda
state and prove Cayley hamilton therom
hello
Propessor
hi
Miranda
the Cayley hamilton Theorem state if A is a square matrix and if f(x) is its characterics polynomial then f(x)=0 in another ways evey square matrix is a root of its chatacteristics polynomial.

Miranda
Miranda Drice would you mind teaching me mathematics? I think you are really good at math. I'm not good at it. In fact I hate it. 😅😅😅
Jeffrey
lolll who told you I'm good at it
Miranda
something seems to wispher me to my ear that u are good at it. lol
Jeffrey
lolllll if you say so
Miranda
but seriously, Im really bad at math. And I hate it. But you see, I downloaded this app two months ago hoping to master it.
Jeffrey
which grade are you in though
Miranda
oh woww I understand
Miranda
haha. already finished college
Jeffrey
how about you? what grade are you now?
Jeffrey
I'm going to 11grade
Miranda
how come you finished in college and you don't like math though
Miranda
gotta practice, holmie
Steve
if you never use it you won't be able to appreciate it
Steve
I don't know why. But Im trying to like it.
Jeffrey
yes steve. you're right
Jeffrey
so you better
Miranda
what is the solution of the given equation?
which equation
Miranda
I dont know. lol
Jeffrey
please where is the equation
Miranda
Jeffrey

how do u calculate inequality of irrational number?
Alaba
give me an example
Chris
and I will walk you through it
Chris
cos (-z)= cos z .

Hiiii

h r u friends
Chinni
yes
Hassan
so is their any Genius in mathematics here let chat guys and get to know each other's
SORIE
I speak French
Abdel
okay no problem since we gather here and get to know each other
SORIE
hi im stupid at math and just wanna join here
Yaona
lol nahhh none of us here are stupid it's just that we have Fast, Medium, and slow learner bro but we all going to work things out together
SORIE
it's 12
what is the function of sine with respect of cosine , graphically
tangent bruh
Steve
cosx.cos2x.cos4x.cos8x
sinx sin2x is linearly dependent
what is a reciprocal
The reciprocal of a number is 1 divided by a number. eg the reciprocal of 10 is 1/10 which is 0.1
Shemmy
Reciprocal is a pair of numbers that, when multiplied together, equal to 1. Example; the reciprocal of 3 is ⅓, because 3 multiplied by ⅓ is equal to 1
Jeza
each term in a sequence below is five times the previous term what is the eighth term in the sequence
I don't understand how radicals works pls
How look for the general solution of a trig function
