How does integration work with parametric equations?

- x = f(t)
- y = g(t)

The key point is to ensure the limits of the integral are changed to the parameter

Absolutely brilliant, both my girls used it for A levels and GCSE. It's saves on paper copies, also beneficial exam questions ranked from easy to hard. It's removed a lot of stress from the exams.
