Parametric aplet
The 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
y
=
g t
and
.
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.
