PARAMETRIC EQUATIONS Graphing Plane Curves (Page 3 of 12)

To obtain a standard viewing window, use ZOOM ZStandard as usual.

ZOOM key. 6: menu selection. Calculator screen image.

Depending on the domain of the parameter t, a standard graph may not be complete. A standard window only plots points for t between 0 and 2π, so any part of the graph corresponding to negative values of the parameter will not be shown. We can control which t values are used in the WINDOW screen.
