Core 4 Maths A-Level Edexcel - Parametric Equations (1)
An introduction to parametric equations.
Examples:
- The diagram shows a sketch of the curve with parametric equations x = t - 1, y = 4 - t2. The curve meets the x-axis a the points A and B. Find the coordinates of A and B.
- A curve has parametric equations x = at, y = a(t3 + 8), where a is a constant. The curve passes through the point (2,0). Find the value of a.
- A curve is given parametrically by the equations x = t2, y =4t. The line x + y + 4 = 0, meets the curve at A. Find the coordinates of A.
