Unit 9: Parametric equations, polar coordinates, and vector-valued functions

1,400 possible mastery points

About this unit

While we're often familiar with functions that output just one variable and are graphed with Cartesian coordinates, there are other possibilities! Vector-valued functions, for example, can output multiple variables. Polar functions, too, differ, using polar coordinates for graphing. We can still explore these functions with derivatives and integrals.
