What defines a Cartesian equation compared to parametric equations?
It connects xxx and yyy linearly in a single equation without any squared terms.
It defines xxx and yyy separately using two equations involving a third variable.
It connects xxx and yyy directly in a single equation without a third variable.
It defines xxx and yyy independently using a different variable for each coordinate.
Flashcards for Edexcel A Level Maths Parametric Equations, covering the key formulae, methods and definitions you need to recall for Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 3. 22 cards drawn from 8.1 Parametric Equations, 8.2 Using Trigonometric Identities, 8.3 Curve Sketching, 8.4 Points of Intersection, and 8.5 Modelling with Parametric Equations, matched to the Edexcel A Level Maths (9MA0) specification. Recall questions account for roughly 50% of marks at A Level Maths, so these target the marks you can secure before the paper starts.
