Parametrization of CurvesDefinition 1. If $x$ and $y$ are given as functions $$x = f(t), \text{ } y=g(t)$$ over an interval $I$ of $t$-values, then the set of points $(x, y) = (f(t), g(t))$ defined by these equations is a parametric curve. The equations are parametric equations for the curve.The variable $t$ is a parameter for the curve, and its domain $I$ is the parameter interval. If $I$ is a..
