PARAMETRIC EQUATIONS Graphing Plane Curves (Page 5 of 12)

Now graph the plane curve. This is a special curve, called a cycloid, which has an interesting property for certain physics applications.

 GRAPH key. Calculator screen image.

TRACE will allow you move the cursor along the graph. At each point, the value of the parameter t and the coordinates x and y will be displayed.

 TRACE key.
