Using parametric graphing mode, graph the unit circle and the
sine curve to show the relationship between them.
Any function that can be plotted in
Func mode can be plotted in
Par mode by defining the X component as T and the Y
component as F(T).
1. Press z. Select
Par, Simul, and the default settings.
2. Press p. Set the viewing window.
Tmin=0 Xmin=L2 Ymin=L3
Tmax=2p Xmax=7.4 Ymax=3
Tstep=.1 Xscl=pà2 Yscl=1
3. Press o. Turn off all functions and stat plots. Enter the
expressions to define the unit circle centered on (0,0).
4. Enter the expressions to define the sine curve.
5. Press r. As the graph is plotting, you may press Í
to pause and Í again to resume graphing as you watch
the sine function “unwrap” from the unit circle.
Note: You can generalize the unwrapping. Replace sin(T) in Y2T with
any other trig function to unwrap that function.
