In the 1800s, a French mathematician named Jules Lissajous began using parametric equations, beams of light, mirrors, and vibrating tuning forks to investigate harmonic motion creating what is known ...

In this lesson, we will discover parametric equations and how we will use the parameter to model certain functions and situations. We will also take a look at how to eliminate the parameter to ...

Learn how to eliminate the parameter in a parametric equation. A parametric equation is a set of equations that express a set of quantities as explicit functions of a number of independent variables, ...
