At times it is not desirable to draw lines between each succesive point. For example, if there is a discontinuity in the function or if there were a vertical asymptote, such as what happens at $0$ with $f(x) = 1/x$.

The most straightforward plot is dominated by the vertical asymptote at $x=0$:

These all apply to parametric plots, as the Etch A Sketch trace is no more than a plot of $(f(t), g(t))$ over some range of values for $t$, where $f$ describes the movement in time of the left knob and $g$ the movement in time of the right.

Now, we revist the last problem in the context of this. We saw in the last problem that the parametric graph was nearly a line - so close the eye can't really tell otherwise. That means that the growth in both $f(t) = t^3$ and $g(t)=t - \sin(t)$ for $t$ around $0$ are in a nearly fixed ratio, as otherwise the graph would have more curve in it.
