Parametric Curves--1
Provide solutions to all of the above problems
Generalization of parametric line definition: x and y both functions of t, 0 t 1. (Examples here are 3rd degree or higher.)
- x(t) = axt3 + bxt2 + cxt + d
- y(t) = ayt3 + byt2 + cyt + d
Parametric cubic polynomials can be joined to create interpolation paths (like lines and polylines).
