1.6.4 Parametric equations in modelling (A-level only)

In a parametric model, what does the parameter often represent?

A

A changing quantity such as time or angle.

B

To eliminate a parameter, rearrange one equation for the parameter and substitute into the other equation.

C

x=2+5cos⁡θ,y=−1+5sin⁡θx=2+5\cos\theta,\quad y=-1+5\sin\thetax=2+5cosθ,y=−1+5sinθ

D

At (a+r,b)(a+r,b)(a+r,b).
