A point P on the rim of the wheel traces out a curve called a hypercycloid. Assuming P starts at the point (3,0), find the parametric equations for the curve. This isn't an assigned problem, I am just curious and I am not sure how to geometrically break this problem apart to AnonymousMon, 30 Jun 2014 13:26:15 -0500http://calc3.askbot.com/question/24/http://calc3.askbot.com/question/17/how-do-i-visualize-space-curves/I'm having a bit of trouble visualizing some of the space curves on the homework (section 13.1, #1-4). I can draw sketches of what they look like in the x-y and the x-z planes, but when it comes to "combining" the two, I'm struggling. Do any of you have any suggestions? Or is this not even necessary for the homework as it just says to "investigate?" WesSun, 29 Jun 2014 19:02:51 -0500http://calc3.askbot.com/question/17/
