Sketching parametric curves.
Parametric Curve-: Suppose that x and y are both given as functions of a third variable t (called a
parameter) by the equations
x =f(t), y =g(t) (calledparametric equations).
Each value of t determine a point (x, y), which we can plot in a coordinate plane. As t varies, the point (x, y) =
(f(t), g(t)) varies and traces out a curve C, which we call aparametric curve.
