Tasks
Explore parametric curves and discover how two equations trace a single path. Earn up to 3 stars per task!
What shape does this parametric curve trace? Task 1
Identify How wide is the curve (total x-axis span)? Task 2
Identify Which parametric form matches this curve? Task 3
Identify Start with Circle Tracer to see how (cos t, sin t) traces a circle, then adjust parameters to create ellipses.
Tip: Parametric curves use separate equations for x(t) and y(t). Changing the coefficients stretches or compresses the curve along each axis.
