As an introduction to parametric equations, Sal solves the problem of finding the path of a car that drives off a 50-meter-high cliff while traveling five meters per second. He uses a pair of equations: x(t) = 10 + 5t and y(t) = 50 Ð...

The video explores parametric equations. The tutorial investigates two examples with detailed steps on how to solve parametric equations. A worksheet with practice problems and solutions is included. In the left hand menu, click on...

The final video in a series on parametric equations from the Khan Academy. This video continues with the same two parametric equations presented in previous video. However, this segment shows how a different set of parametric equations...

This video shows how to convert from two parametric equations to one Cartesian equation.

A video illustrating an example of how parametric equations can be useful, particularly in problems dealing with motion. The example takes a car that is driving off a cliff and defines its motion as a parametric curve. The purpose of the...

Introduction to parametric equations. This video illustrates an example of how parametric equations can be useful, particularly in problems dealing with motion.

A continuation of the Khan Academy's series of videos on parametric equations. Presents two parametric equations and then uses trig identities to convert them into one Cartesian equation which happens to be an ellipse. By choosing and...

This video follows from Parametric Equations 1 and extends the example given in that first video. This segment now shows how to convert from two parametric equations that are defined in terms of t to one Cartesian equation where y is...
