About this document

Overview of Parametric Equations by Jericho Cunanan is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Parametric equations relate two variables, such as x and y coordinates, to a third variable called a parameter. They describe curves by defining x and y separately as functions of the parameter, such as x = f(t) and y = g(t). This allows some curves to be described more easily than with a single equation relating x and y. Common parametric equations include those that define circles, ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas, cardioids, astroids, cycloids, and rectangular hyperbolas.
