Parametric curves on the plane

Topic(s): 
Vector-Valued Functions and Velocity/Acceleration
Multivariable Calculus

Graph paramertic curves in rectangular as well as polar coordinates. Curves can be traced showing the direction of motion and the way a curve is traversed. The \(x\) and \(y\) ranges adjust automatically.
