Date: Name: Storm Tracker Portfolio Worksheet PRECALCULUS: PARAMETRIC FUNCTIONS Directions: Meteorologists use sophisticated models to predict the occurrence, duration, and trajectory of weather events. They build their models based on observations that they have made in the past. By understanding how previous weather events evolved, meteooogists can apply that knowledge to future weather Parametric equations can be used to graph the path of an object in space. For example, used to describe the path of a...
