24 - Tangent Lines to Parametric Curves
Some curves in the xy-plane are difficult/impossible to write directly as equation relating x and y. Then, we often write the equations for the curve using a "parameter" t as x=f(t) and y=g(t). Of course, we still want to be able to do calculus with these parametric equations. Here we look at the problem of finding a tangent line for a parametric curve. This video supplements a (Math 141) Calculus with Analytic Geometry II course at Penn State Abington.
