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 apletOpen the Parametric aplet
Define the expressions
The following example uses the parametric equations
x(t) = 3 sin t y(t ) = 3 cos t
Note: This example will produce a circle. For this example to work, the angle measure must be set to degrees.
