3. Parametric Functions
Some relationships between two quantities or
variables are so complicated that we
sometimes introduce a third quantity or
variable in order to make things easier to
handle. In mathematics this third quantity is
called a parameter
4. Parametric Functions
Instead of one equation relating two variables,
here, we have two equations relating each one
of them with the parameter. For curves which
are defined in this way, their rates of change
can be found using parametric differentiation.
