Chapter 8.4, Problem 54E

Finding Parametric Equations for a Curve Two circles of radius a and b are centered at the origin, as shown in the figure.

(a) Find parametric equations for the curve traced out by the point P , using the angle θ as the parameter. (Note that the line segment AB is always tangent to the larger circle.)

(b) Graph the curve using a graphing device, with a = 3 and b = 2 .

Polygon with three sides, three angles, and three vertices. Based on the properties of each side, the types of triangles are scalene (triangle with three three different lengths and three different angles), isosceles (angle with two equal sides and two equal angles), and equilateral (three equal sides and three angles of 60°). The types of angles are acute (less than 90°); obtuse (greater than 90°); and right (90°).

Thus, we can represent the points of the unit circle using parametric equations. The standard way to do this is for the circle is to represent each point on it by x = and y = (a) Sketch the curve described by the equations x = 2 – 3t, y = 1 + t. Then find a Cartesian equation of the curve. (b) Voting Question: Find a parametric representation for the curve y = x². Circle your answer. (a) x(t) =t and y(t) = t² (b) x(t) =-t and y(t) = t² (c) x(t) = 1 – t and y(t) = 1 – 2t +t? (d) more than one of the above (e) all of the above (c) Find a Cartesian equation of the curve x = V1+ t, y = \t – 1. Sketch the curve, indicate with an arrow the direction in which the curve is traced as the parameter and %3D | increases.

Obtain the parametric equations of:An epicycloid curve described by a point on the circumference of radius 3 that turns without slipping on another circumference of radius 5 and outside of it makes a sketch of the curve by analyzing the angles for which the point returns to the circumference of greater radius

An air traffic controller spots two planes at the same altitude flying toward each other (see figure). Their flight paths are 20° and 315°. One plane is 150 miles from point P with a speed of 375 miles per hour. The other is 190 miles from point P with a speed of 450 miles per hour. (a) Find parametric equations for the path of each plane where t is the time in hours, with t = 0 corresponding to the time at which the air traffic controller spots the planes. (b) Use the result of part (a) to write the distance between the planes as a function of t. (c) Use a graphing utility to graph the function in part (b). When will the distance between the planes be minimum? If the planes must keep a separation of at least 3 miles, is the requirement met?
