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 these curves.
2. Choose one of the four curves. Modify the given parameter values until you get at least three other parametric curves in the same family of curves
whose graphs look significantly different from the original curve given. Print out each result. Be sure to include the values that you used for each of the parameters in order to generate each new curve.
