Hey there,

Can i molest you guys with yet another calculus question? ok here goes:'

Find parametric equations of the ellipse: x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2=1


I know it looks trivial, but the abtraction is making it difficult for me.

Thanks!

what's abtraction?

would this work?

x = a cos t
y = b sin t

t is defined [0, 2pi]
