[10.1] - Reading Assignment

After reading section 10.1...

  1. This is a graph of the parametric curve $x(t)=\sin t$, $y(t)= |\cos (2t)|$, for $-\pi\lt t \lt \pi$.

    Write an equation of a position vector function, $\myv r(t)$ which describes the same curve. (This is not meant to be difficult!)
  2. Sketch the curve described by the parametric, 2-d position vector function $(x,y)=\myc{t^3,t}$ where $t$ can take on any real value.
  3. Muddy questions? Questions you wonder about?
