What is Parametric Equation?-Video

This video is on parametric equations. A parametric equation is, you’re adding a parameter of t time to every x y and z function, and that’s where we add the parameter and that’s the reason we call them parametric equations. And let’s do it. Turn the calculator on here. We’re going to get back to the home screen here. Clear the calculator we can go F1 eight and it clears that screen here. You press second alpha and put in the letters i n d e x, and then you push alpha and get into the number 8 and closed parenthesis to add this and get my formula for my menu. Press enter and we’re into my menu. And you can see all the things available in my menu for you to pass calculus and do your homework. Position vectors, product rule, projection of a and b, all those kinds of things you will be involved with in calculus one two or three. We’re going to do parametric equations now. That’s concerned with position vectors. If z is not given you enter zero in for z, then you can do the other two, x and y. So there’s the vector r t is generally an r t, is equal to this vector here, x t, y t and z t. So you have to press alpha to enter the functions in the entry lines here, so let’s do it, three times t let’s say plus four for x t, here’s y t, let’s enter have to push alpha, five times t and let’s do the z one, or let’s put alpha just for to make it simple and put z you can see that the z one is zero. Gives you a chance to change it if you’ve made a mistake, and we have all these things that we can do with this formula now with these functions in there. We can eliminate the parameter. Which eliminates the t and changes it back to an x function. Let’s do that quick, I’ll go through these quick so you can see. You solve for t, here’s the solution for t, and then you substitute t into every other x y and z, but ah here’s one point six seven times x minus three point nine and that eliminated the t parameter. Let’s go length of arc, you want to do that, fine, let’s go press four, notice it’s an integral over a and b, with the derivative of the r t formula. And rt we’re going to put in what we entered, I’ll go through it quick, put this all on your paper, write it down exactly as you see it, and we’re doing the square of each one, over the time of let’s say, you have to push alpha, let’s say from two to alpha six, shows you from two to six, here we’re doing this, write this on your paper and each individual one is gone, there it is, and here we substitute etcetera in there, and here we have approximately twenty three point four units. We can do speed, do you wanna do speed, let’s push number seven here and do speed, unit vectors or speed is the square root of these squared. Square root of nine, twenty five zero. 5.8 meters per second. Ah pretty neat huh? everystepcalculus.com, check it out. Go to my site and you’ll love these programs.

You are an angel sent from above TOM!!! Thank you so much for being patient with me. I got the programs to work and I am very confident I am going to pass this class once and for all. The Double and Triple Integrals programs are a life saver! Thank You Thank You Thank You!

-Cotto

Tom-    I showed my ex, who is a calculus professor, and he was waaaaaaay impressed. And he is an arrogant ass, who never helped me ever...I could tell he wanted to hate on it, but he couldnt.

Tom...I think that I’m finally done with Calculus II. In the prior test I got 78 and yesterday I finished all the problem on the test. I think I should be able to remain around the same grade. Thank you so much for your help; your programs really made the difference. They didn’t just solve the problems for you, in my case, they gave me the confidence and security I had lost with those stupid professors and the way they teach. To be honest, studying the programs on my calculator taught  me how to solve problems that I couldn’t do before due to the way they were presented. I felt confident and secure yesterday, and it only possible because either I remember  how to do the problems or the calculator would. Thanks one more time for time, dedication and quick responses. There is no other person in the whole world that would do what you do for us , college students being  killed  with freaking calculus classes.      John

Tom-     Got it to work with that link you sent me!  Just wanted to say thanks for all the great work you do, and for helping me pass this calculus class.  I'm going to tell everyone about this and make them pay the $30 dollars because you have done a splendid job programming my friend.  Let me know if you have any new programs for derivatives or integrals and Ill let you know if I need any more help!  Much thanks,                -Eric

I basically just needed to say that you're an amazing man. Basically saved my life during my emag theory course    

-DoubtingThomas  (Youtube vectors review here)

oh my god I figured it out. You're the freaking best!      -Sarah

Thanks Tom. I appreciate you taking the time to break down and explain these to me. :0)     -Nelson

 Tommy,     Great talking with you last night. I already liked you for developing this “most excellent program” but after our conversation I concluded you to be a great guy. I’ve been playing with this program most of the night, took in a few “z’s” and am back for more. This program really is superb. I did, however, notice that for some unknown reason when I attempt to do Relative Extrema’s and Trajectories that both programs came up as “Program not Found”. I’m not sure if I will be encountering the Trajectory stuff in this semester of Calculus but I do have a test this Thursday that includes Relative Extrema. Any suggestion, oh Master of this great creation?! I’m going to be gone most the day but should be home late afternoon if you got time to call. Same number (843-xxx-xxxx). That’s Myrtle Beach, 3 hours ahead of you and more golf courses than you can shake a stick at. Thanks    -Joe

Wow! Awesome! These are great, so great, thank you!            -Kristen

Tom is the man! His program is helping me pass my calculus class. He was willing to help me immediately when I couldn't get one of the programs working! This application is in my opinion a STEAL! I've never met Tom in person but I'll owe passing this class to every step calculus.
