(3 points)
Due: Friday, September 9th by 4:00pm
1. Use Maple to generate graphs of the Epicycloid, the Lissajous Curve, the Epitrochoid, and the Hypotrochoid described on the second page of the
Parametric Curves handout we went over in class. Print out the results. Be sure to clearly label each curves.
2. Choose one of the four types of curves. Modify the values of the constants A, B (and C) until you get (at least) three other parametric curves whose graphs
look significantly different from the original curve. Print out each result. Be sure to include the values that you used for A, B (and C) to generate each new curve.
