Eliminate the parameter t AND write the rectangular equation for
x = t2+3 and y = 2t.

Question

anonymous · Answer

CORRECTION: x=  t^2+3

anonymous · Answer

t=y/2

anonymous · Answer

x= y^2/4 +3

anonymous · Answer

I'm confused....i got t = sqrt of 3-x.

anonymous · Answer

$$x=\frac{y^2}{4}+3$$

4 x = y^2 + 3

4x-3=y^2

anonymous · Answer

then you have to use plus or minus i think. that is why iman solved the other way.  correct me if i am wrong

anonymous · Answer

can u explain how you got x = y^2/4 =3

anonymous · Answer

y=2t
t=y/2

t^2 = y^2/4

anonymous · Answer

Oh i see...but what is a rectangular equation??

anonymous · Answer

where you equation is like
y=f(x)

anonymous · Answer

as opposed to parametric equation where both x and y depend on t

anonymous · Answer

so is the solution to the question 4x-3=y^2 or something else

anonymous · Answer

y^2=4x-3

take square root of both side

$$y=\pm \sqrt{4 x-3}$$

anonymous · Answer

ok...i get it now...thanks..is that the end of the problem

anonymous · Answer

yes, relieved?

anonymous · Answer

yup! the question was worded to weirdly...i wasnt evn sure what it was asking
