Parametric and Polar for BC

Front

What are parametric equations?

Back

Parametric equations express the coordinates of points on a curve as functions of a variable, typically denoted as 't'. For example, x = f(t) and y = g(t).

How do you find the point on a curve defined by parametric equations at a specific value of t?

Back

Substitute the value of t into the parametric equations to find the corresponding x and y coordinates.

What is a polar equation?

Back

A polar equation relates the distance from a point to a reference point (the pole) and the angle from a reference direction (the polar axis).
