Parametric Graphing

Selecting the Display Style
You can set the style for either the x or y component. For example, if you set the
x component to
Dot
, the TI-89 Titanium automatically sets the y component to
Dot
.
Note:
Use the
Animate
and
Path
styles for interesting projectile-motion effects.
The
Above
and
Below
styles are not available for parametric equations and are dimmed
on the Y= Editor’s
Style
toolbar menu.
Window Variables
The Window Editor maintains an independent set of Window variables for each
Graph
mode setting (just as the Y= Editor maintains independent function lists). Parametric
graphs use the following Window variables.
Note:
You can use a negative
tstep
. If so,
tmin
must be greater than
tmax
.
Variable
Description
tmin
,
tmax
Smallest and largest
t
values to evaluate.
tstep
Increment for the
t
value. Parametric equations are
evaluated at:
x(tmin)
y(tmin)
x(tmin+tstep)
y(tmin+tstep)
x(tmin+2(tstep))
y(tmin+2(tstep))
