INTRODUCTION
Definition of mathematical modelling, parametric equation, explicit function,
independent variable, parameter, Cartesian coordinate, point of intersection, and
point of collision
Aim: To study the parametric equation which modelled by mathematical modelling.
I)To investigate the parametric equation using a plane curve.
II)To study the 3 sets of parabola, identify x and y values using variety of parametric
equation.
III)To explore the movement of particles using parametric equation with
trigonometry function.
History (Professor Daniel Davis and James Danas 1837 paper)
Application: I)Projectile motion
II)Motion of golf ball
III)Motion of base ball

METHODOLOGY
I have used several methods to solve the coursework:
For question 1, question 2 (part 1), and question 3
(part 2):
I) manual graph
II) Microsoft excel 2013
III) online graph generator(plotly)
For question 2(part 2 and part 3) solved using
calculation and justification.
For question 3(part 2 and part 3) solved based on
graph.

For question 2, x-49 must be always

positive as (y-1) 0. So, x=-t is
impossible to be chosen as
parametric equation
For y value, I can choose any value
because the value of y is positive as
x=(y-1) +49

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, I understand about parametric equation through
mathematical modeling. I have also learnt on how to set the t limits and
realize that not every point or values can be insert into the parametric
equation to plot for an ideal graph. This coursework had thought me to
sketch, plot, analyse and solve problem using the graphs. I have also
learnt to determine the point of intersection and the point of collision
using parametric equation. I found that the question given were quite
challenging and require a deep thinking to solve the question.
When Im doing this coursework, I faced some problems that were
insufficient of time, formatting the axis of online and excel graph and
finding solution for question. I found that I need a good time
management, and more guidance from teachers and friends. In this
coursework, I found that Microsoft excel method is easier way to use
compared to manual and online generator graph because it is more
accurate, easy to use, and just need to put the formula and the graph
automatically generate.
