Solutions to Odd-Numbered Exercises

1. A pair of functions that is dependent on an external factor. The two functions are written in terms of the same parameter. For example, [latex]x=f\left(t\right)[/latex] and [latex]y=f\left(t\right)[/latex].

3. Choose one equation to solve for [latex]t[/latex], substitute into the other equation and simplify.

5. Some equations cannot be written as functions, like a circle. However, when written as two parametric equations, separately the equations are functions.
