Graphing Calculator 3D Plot Parametric Equations

This page explains how to plot parametric equations in Graphing Calculator 3D.

Steps:

  1. Make sure "3D" graph type is selected.
  2. Change the graph type from "Equation" to "Parametric".
  3. Type in the 3 components of your parametric equation using "u" and "v" variables.

Examples:

Here is an example of a parametric equation that you can type in the program:

  • x=3u+1
  • y=v^2
  • z=sin(u+v)
