Parametric Equations and Variables Relation Quiz

Parametric Relations

• The term for a situation where the relation between two variables is expressed using a third variable is called parametric relation.

Role of the Third Variable

• In the context of parametric relations, the third variable acts as a parameter, which helps to express the relationship between the two original variables.

Expressing Relations in Parametric Form

• To express the relation between two variables in parametric form, we introduce a third variable t (parameter) and define each of the original variables as a function of t.

Characteristics of Parametric Relations

• When the relation between two variables is expressed via a third variable, it means that the relationship between the original variables is indirect, and the third variable serves as a bridge to connect them.

Test your knowledge on parametric equations and the relation between variables expressed via a third parameter. Explore how a third variable, known as the parameter, can establish a connection between two variables in parametric form.
