STPM 2016 Term 1 Mathematics (T) Assignment

Introduction

Parametric equations express a set of related quantities as explicit functions of an independent variable, known as a parameter. An equation, relating variables x and y in Cartesian coordinates, can be expressed by parametric equations which describe a position on the curve.

Find information about parametric equations yourself.

Sample Question

Parametric equations express a set of related quantities as explicit functions of an independent variable, known as a parameter. An equation, relating variables $x$ and $y$ in Cartesian coordinates, can be expressed by parametric equations which describe a position on the curve. 1 The parametric equations of a plane curve are defined by $x = e^t, y = t^2-1, -2 \leq t \leq 2$ . Tabulate the values $t$ , $x$ and $y$ , and plot the curve. 2 (a) Find three sets of parametric equations for the curve whose equation is $(y - 1)^2 = x - 49$ . (b) Is it possible to choose $x =-t^2$ as the parametric equation for $x$ ? Can you start with any choice for the parametric equation for $x$ ? (c) Can you start with any choice for the parametric equation for $y$ ? 3 Suppose that the position of a particle at time $t$ is given by

$x_1 = 2 \sin t, y_1 = 3 \cos t, 0\leq t\leq 2\pi$ ,

and the position of another particle is given by

$x_2 = \cos t - 2, y_2 = 1 + \sin t, 0 \leq t \leq 2\pi$ ,

(a) Sketch the paths of the particles on the same coordinate axes. (b) How many points of intersection are there? (c) Determine whether there is any point where the particles collide.

Sample Solution

Scroll down for the sample solution 🙂 The solution below is sample solution and not the accurate answer. 🙂 Please refer to your school teacher if you want to get the correct answer.

Question 1

Question 2

(a) Three sets of parametric equations.

$x=t^2+49,y=t+1,t\in R$

$x=49\sec^2 \theta, y=7\tan\theta, \frac{\pi}{2}<\theta<\frac{\pi}{2}$

$x=4t^2+49, y=2t+1, t\in R$

Let me know if you know more.

(b) $x=-t^2$ is impossible to be chosen as the parametric equation for $x$ because $x-49$ must be always positive as $(y-1)^2 \geq 0$ for every values of $y$ . We can start with any choice for the parametric equation for $x$ as long as $x-49$ is not negative.

Question 3

(a) The curve in pink is $2\sin t, y=3\cos t$ . And the curve in black is $x=\cos t -2, y=1+\sin t$ .

(b) Based on the graph above, there are two points of intersection.

(c) To determine whether the particles collide, we need to solve the simultaneous equations from the parametric equations. Please remember the particles does not collide even you are able to solve the equations. You must verify the values. Collision happens only when positions are the same with same $t$ .

Verification

Hence, the particles collide at $t=\frac{3\pi}{2}$ .

Hence, the particles do not collide. Please do yourself for $y=0$ and $y=\frac{9}{5}$ . The particles collide at only 1 point.

iluvMathT on August 9, 2015 at 11:12 am

question 3C) on the verification part, after u sub the x value, why are they so many t value if use x=-6/5 but all prove it does not collide, but using x= -2 , many t value as well but only 1 prove it collide at that time. If t value we found prove it dont collide, then they are many t value outside which we dont find on the equation said it don collide.

question 3b)u sub x1 and x2 into sin^2 t +cos ^2 t = 1 and y value as well, and u found the point of intersection, but referring to the point we found on the graph , one of the point which is x=-6/5 does not seem to be logic, based on the graph it should -1.5 something, which clearly shown on the graph. does that mean it is wrong?
Reply
- KK LEE on August 9, 2015 at 11:58 pm
  
  For 3c. It is given that t lies between 0 and $latex 2\pi$.
  
  For 3b. I NEVER substitute any values in my calculation. Thanks
- iluvMathT on August 10, 2015 at 11:13 pm
  
  sry maybe i dont really understand, may i know for the first part of 3c), why do u sub x1/2 = sin t and x2 + 2 = cos t equation into sin^2 t + cos^2 t = 1?
- KK LEE on August 11, 2015 at 12:02 am
  
  To solve the simultaneous equations. You can use any other ways to solve the simultaneous equations to find the points where the particles collide.
- iluvMathT on August 13, 2015 at 12:36 am
  
  ok, so we found the point of intersection using simultaneous equations, which have two value for both x and y , but one of the x value which is x= -6/5 does not seem to be logic ,can u explain this?? because graphical method also can be used to find the point of intersection right? so if i use graphical method then my x coordinate for the point of intersection is not the same although y coordinate correct.
- KK LEE on August 13, 2015 at 12:57 am
  
  To find points of intersection of the curve and to find the point where the particles collide are not the same. Please ask your teacher or attend my class. 😛
- iluvMathT on August 13, 2015 at 1:28 am
  
  oic, then that makes clear that i dont really understand haha, cuz i thought u solve the simultaneous equation to find the point of intersection first, and assuming one of the particles be at that point then traces back t value and find coordinate of another particle.If x1=x2 and y1=y2 then it collide, So now your working is to find the point where particles collide? and may i know how to find point of intersection by using simultaneous equation?
- KK LEE on August 13, 2015 at 1:32 am
  
  Ways to find the points of intersection will only be shown to my students. Thanks

Sir, are you sure that t= 3.785 & 5.690 when sin t= -0.6? When I use the calculator, I got a different answer.
Reply
- KK LEE on August 17, 2015 at 8:04 pm
  
  Yes. It is correct. Change your calculator or change your hand.
- MathsLover on August 19, 2015 at 8:11 pm
  
  Its correct. When you press your calculator,you shouldnt insert the negative in. Just insert the 0.6. After that you will get 36.8698… The negative sign shows that it’s actually in the third and fourth quadrant.For the third quadrant, its (180+36.8698), after that change the ans in term of rad. Which means you should take [(180+36.87)xπ]/180 = 3.786
  Do the same thing for the fourth quadrant (360-36.87) and you will get 5.64
  
  You’re welcome 🙂

  It can be obtained directly if you know what is parametric equation. I can’t explain further here.

Hi ?I want to ask that the questions 2)a) are we need to form 3 parametric equation form that cartesian equation or just sub the x or y value that you give into that cartesian equation??? Thank you ?

Sir, for question 2 a) can I let x=t, x=2t and x=t^2 and in each case express y in terms of t. [x=t, y=+/- square root(x-49)-1] is a set?

  For me, No. For your teacher, i don’t know.
Hedarus on September 24, 2015 at 6:37 pm

Can i use y=t,y=(t^2)-1 and y=-t^2 to prove that it can used for y in 2(c)?
As my teacher want us to show the equation….

Sir,for question 2(a),How to find the other 2 sets of parametric equations?For set 1,I used the formula x=at^2 and y=2at…but how about the other 2 sets?How can i get the other 2 sets?I have no idea…Just use back the same formula or there is another way to solve this?

  Does it mean any parametric equations of curve as long as it satisfy the Cartesian equation?So,If that is true,can I use the parametric equation of hyperbola?
- KK LEE on September 27, 2015 at 9:57 pm
  
  You can use any equation that satisfy the original equation.

Hi Sir, to find if the particles collide in 3c, can I do a table of t(0, pi/2, pi, 3pi/2, 2pi values), x1, x2, y1 & y2? and subs t values into the original equations in the questions to find the (x,y)coordinates that are the same? The answer will still be 3pi/2 as point where they collide.

  Substitute into all the original equations to verify

Hi sir
For 2a
Can I use x=50-sin^2€ and y=cos€+1 and the range of € is between 0 and pi?
I have calculated the values using the range but it seems to be a graph with y-axis as major axis but the other two equations above are graphs with x-axis as major axis..

  For 2a. It is a parabola, which means it cant be x²/36² – y²/6² = 1

u know what , u r rude, n i read all your replies to all the comments.. u kinda reply in a sarcastic way.. just chill on , cause we r new to this kinda no guide assignment.. we need some help bcoz all of our school teacher dont give a damn.. so the point is have some courtesy to share knowledge… hope u get me, stingy 🙂

  All right. Thanks of your comment.
  
  1. I am not a school teacher. And i never attend any meeting regarding the assignment. So do not expect me to know all the school teachers requirement. I have tried my best to give the information that i know. I have students from different schools. That’s why i know different school teachers have different requirement on the particular questions. This is also the reason i never answer all the questions that are not related to maths.
  
  2. I am posting all maths related solutions for your reference and please do not expect me to post 100% answers.
  
  3. I have tried my best to help and this will be my last posting on solutions of assignments. Thanks.
