In this lesson, we will discover parametric equations and how we will use the parameter to model certain functions and situations. We will also take a look at how to eliminate the parameter to ...

Learn how to eliminate the parameter in a parametric equation. A parametric equation is a set of equations that express a set ...

An object is moving counter-clockwise along a circle with the centre at the origin. At \(t=0\) the object is at point \(A(0,5)\) and at \(t=2\pi\) it is back to point \(A\) for the first time.

In the 1800s, a French mathematician named Jules Lissajous began using parametric equations, beams of light, mirrors, and vibrating tuning forks to investigate harmonic motion creating what is known ...
