Creating parametric functions

An example of a parametric function is shown below:

x=t

, y=t–3

To enter parametric equations into the Newton Works graphing calculator, you can

use the following format:

x(t)=f(t)

y(t)=g(t)

p(t)=[x(t),y(t)]

p(t)=[f(t),g(t)]

For example, using the above parametric equation, you can enter:

x(t)=t^2

y(t)=t–3

p(t)=[x(t),y(t)]

p(t)=[t^2,t–3]

You can graph parametric functions or view the results in tabular format, just like any

other function.
