Calculating Parametric Equations

Computes parametric equations for a locus or envelope, based on the parameter defining the curve.

You can also calculate parametric equations for a circle or line.

Use these steps:

1. Select   any geometry object described above.
2. Click the tab to switch from Real to Symbolic output or vice versa.
3. Click the Parametric Equation tool in the Calculate toolbox or select Parametric Equation from the Calculate menu.

The real or symbolic equations for x and y appear by the geometry.
