10.7 Exercise 69

Avg difficulty 2.5

Use a graphing utility to graph the given parametric equations.

  1. { x(t)=cost−1 y(t)=sint+t \begin{cases} x \left(t\right) = \cos t - 1 \\ y \left(t\right) = \sin t + t \end{cases}
  2. { x(t)=cost+t y(t)=sint−1 \begin{cases} x \left(t\right) = \cos t + t \\ y \left(t\right) = \sin t - 1 \end{cases}
  3. { x( t )=t−sint y( t )=cost−1 \begin{cases} x \left(t\right) = t - \sin t \\ y \left(t\right) = \cos t - 1 \end{cases}

Explain the effect on the graph of the parametric equation when we switched sint \sin t and cost \cos t.
