Question
Graph several members of the family of curves with parametric equations x = t + a cos t, y + t + a sin t, where a ﹥ 0. How does the shape change as a increases? For what values of a does the curve have a loop?
Solution
The first step in solving 10.1 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Graph several members of the family of curves with parametric equations x = t + a cos t, y + t + a sin t, where a ﹥ 0. How does the shape change as a increases? For what values of a does the curve have a loop?
From the textbook chapter Curves Defined by Parametric Equations you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
