Horizontal vs. Vertical Hyperbola Parametrization?

Horizontal: x(t) uses sec(t). Vertical: y(t) uses sec(t).

Parametrizing y = f(x) vs. x = f⁻¹(y)?

y = f(x): x(t) = t. x = f⁻¹(y): y(t) = t.

Ellipse vs. Circle Parametrization?

Circle: x(t) = r cos(t), y(t) = r sin(t). Ellipse: x(t) = h + a cos(t), y(t) = k + b sin(t).

Parametric vs. Cartesian equations?

Parametric: x and y are functions of t. Cartesian: y is a function of x (or vice-versa).

Parametrization of a parabola opening up/down vs. left/right?

Up/Down: y = f(x), x(t) = t. Left/Right: x = f(y), y(t) = t.

What is the difference between the equations for an ellipse and a hyperbola?

Ellipse: Addition between the squared terms. Hyperbola: Subtraction between the squared terms.

What are the differences between sine and secant functions?

Sine: Bounded between -1 and 1. Secant: Greater than or equal to 1, or less than or equal to -1.

What are the differences between tangent and cotangent functions?

Tangent: sin(t)/cos(t). Cotangent: cos(t)/sin(t).

How do the parameters 'a' and 'b' influence the shape of an ellipse versus a hyperbola?

Ellipse: 'a' and 'b' define the semi-major and semi-minor axes. Hyperbola: 'a' and 'b' relate to the distance from the center to the vertices and the shape of the asymptotes.

How does the domain of 't' differ when parametrizing a full circle versus a semi-circle?

Full circle: 0≤t<2π0 \le t < 2\pi0≤t<2π. Semi-circle: 0≤t<π0 \le t < \pi0≤t<π.
