2 trig problems

The graph of the equation


is an ellipse with center [ma­th]h,k)[/ma­th], horizontal axis length [ma­th]2a[/ma­th], and vertical axis length [ma­th]2b[/ma­th]. Find parametric equations whose graph is an ellipse with center [ma­th](h,k)[/ma­th], horizontal axis length[ma­th]2a[/ma­th], and vertical axis length [ma­th]2b[/ma­th], and explain why your answer is correct.

Let [ma­th]\mathcal{G}[/ma­th] be the graph of the parametric equations
[ma­th]\begin{align*}
x &= \cos(4t),\\
y &= \sin(6t).
\end{align*}[/ma­th]
What is the length of the smallest interval [ma­th]I[/ma­th] such that the graph of these equations for all [ma­th]t\in I[/ma­th] produces the entire graph [ma­th]\mathcal{G}[/ma­th]?

Re: 2 trig problems

You copied and pasted the word math from my other post. Type out the word yourself on your keyboard, don't copy and paste!

Re: 2 trig problems

That's a potentially annoying bug. I tried to type it out for you

The graph of the equation

is an ellipse with center
, horizontal axis length
, and vertical axis length
. Find parametric equations whose graph is an ellipse with center
, horizontal axis length
, and vertical axis length
, and explain why your answer is correct.
Let
be the graph of the parametric equations

What is the length of the smallest interval
such that the graph of these equations for all
produces the entire graph
?

Re: 2 trig problems

It isn't a bug. In my post in the other thread I used an invisible hyphen in the word (so the phrase [ma­th]...[/math] would not get turned into
on posting). Hate Number Theory inadvertently copied the invisible hyphen and posted it here. If only people would stop being lazy and type out words instead of using copy & paste. I mean, what's so difficult about typing just four letters on the keyboard?

Also it seems the LaTeX package in the forum software doesn't understand the \begin{align*} command. Instead of

\begin{align*}
x &= \cos(4t),\\
y &= \sin(6t).
\end{align*}

try \begin{array}:

\begin{array}{rcl}
x &=& \cos(4t),\\
y &=& \sin(6t).
\end{array}

[list=*]
[*]

[/*]
[/list]
The software doesn't understand \implies or \iff either, forcing the use of \Rightarrow and \Leftrightarrow instead.
