Parametric aplet
About the Parametric apletThe Parametric aplet allows you to explore parametric equations. These are equations in which both x and y are defined as functions of t. They take the forms x = f(t) and y = g(t) .
Getting started with the Parametric apletThe following example uses the parametric equations
x(t) = 3 sint y(t) = 3 cost
Open the Parametric aplet
Define the expressions
Note: This example will produce a circle. For this example to work, the angle measure must be set to degrees.
1. Open the Parametric aplet.
Select
