Introduction to Parametric Equations

I introduce the basic concepts of Parametric Equations. I then work through many examples of graphing with t-tables.

I am taking an online pre-calculus class where the professor is not lecturing, but asks us to teach ourselves from the text. It is nearly impossible. I started watching your videos before reading each section in the text - what a tremendous help. Thank you for supplementing this class without even realizing it!! You are very thorough and articulate - easy to understand.

You're my hero. You've not only saved my GPA but allowed me to continue on my desired path to an Engineering degree. So again THANK YOU!!! and keep it up!

@The1AndOnlyKerrySue If you knew how many times that day I made those kind of silly little mistakes...it was a very off day! So, I am glad this was not another example of my mind and words not in agreement. Thanks anyway...and thanks for watching:)

There needs to be more math teachers such as yourself. You know the information well and have a great/positive attitude in the way you convey the information. Thank you so much.

My son, who is in middle school, is taking precalculus at the local high school and because of a non-optional middle school orchestra field trip, he missed the class in which the teacher introduced this topic. When he returned the next day, he asked the teacher if she could direct him to some notes or something that would help him learn what he missed. Her response: “Too bad. You picked a bad class to miss. Good luck catching up!” Thank goodness for YouTube and your outstanding videos! He just watched this one. His reaction: “I sure wish this guy was my teacher!” 🙂

BAM! here I am, another semester, another watch of ProfRobBob's videos. Thanks ^^

Mr Tarrous, your videos are saving our lives here in Africa! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

[profrobbob]

You are so SO welcome and I love hearing that you're grades are improving too! THANK YOU for choosing my videos to learn from and I hope you will share my channel info with others in my quest to help me groW!

I am going to reference another teacher because I only do a little with parametric equations. Horizontal asymptotes are when x approaches +- infinity. To find out what happens as x-> infinity, solve for t: (ex) x=1/(t-1) >>> t-1=1/x>>>> t=1/x+1. Now take the limit as x-> infinity. T=1 and you have the horizontal asymptote. Do the same for y for the vertical asymptote.

This guy has been my lifesaver for my online precalc course, and i love his enthusiasm for math, he's a great teacher!!

Professor RobBob, thank you for a great introduction to Parametric Equations. Parametric equations are useful in Calculus Two, Three, Physics plus other Advanced classes in Mathematics. Parametric equations improve my graphing and analytical skills in Mathematics. All four examples shows the basic concepts of Parametric Equations. This is an error free video/lecture on YouTube.

I do have a trophy that claims I'm an "Everyday Hero" but hearing it from a viewer certainly is nice! That's awesome that you're grades will remain high enough for you to continue to pursue your desired path in engineering! Here's a little quote for you to refer to as you move forward: You have all the reason in the world to achieve your grandest dreams. Imagination plus motivation equals realization. Thanks for watching and best of luck to you Kyle!

Thank you so much for the work you do ProfRobob, i don't know how i was going to pass without your videos

[profrobbob]

Thanks for the testimonial comment Stefano:) Thank you too for supporting by liking and subscribing...I do love teaching and YouTube has certainly taken that love to a whole new level, thanks to satisfied students like you!
Keep spreading the word so someday my channel subscription logo will be next to Patrick JMT's for subscriber count:)

I currently use Blitzer Precalculus and love it:)

[johnroberts]

You've really helped my grades improve in Calculus. You're quite good at explaining things.

[squidpq]

This guy has the most impressive handwriting of any math teacher I have come across.

[profrobbob]

And THANK YOU for supporting by choosing my channel, liking and subscribing! I hope to continue to be your go-to YouTube math teacher...and please tell your friends where to find me too:D

[omarasfari]

I've been searching forever for an explanation I can understand. Thank you very much sir. :)
