Parametric Curves

Enter your parametric equations x(t) and y(t) and the values of t for your initial and terminal points. Use the slider to allow t to move through its range. Note the relationship between the graphs of x(t), y(t), and the parametric curve. To change the viewing window, hold the shift button and left-click to drag the graph or use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out. You can also adjust the axes by holding the shift button and left-click on the axis you want to change.
