The airplanes are at the same altitude. Do the planes hit each other?
Maybe, but likely not…they would have to reach the same point at the same TIME.

Independent vs Dependent Variables
Most relationships we study have 1 dependent variable.

The independent variable is known as “the parameter”
Parametrics allow study of relationships with multiple dependent variables

Given
x t t y t t t= − =
This is also known as “eliminating the parameter.”Useful to determine what graph looks like.
From the x(t) relationship:x = t – 1x +1 = t
From the y(t) relationship:y = t2
Substitute, and we find:
y = (x+1)2
Domain and range…plug in t to x(t) and y(t).1 2

The equation for the length of a parametrized curve is:

(Notice the similarity to the polar length formula.)

Ex. Find the length of the arc
Graph it:
The curve can be broken into 4 symmetrical sections. So, let’s just focus on 1st quadrant.

Tangents
To find location of horizontal tangents:
To find location of vertical tangents:
set
dy
dt= 0
set
dx
dt= 0
These will give you the t values of the tangents.
Use the original parametric equations to find (x,y).
