Question

Eh? How do I combine these two parametrics?
x = t\(^2\), y = t\(^9\)

y=x\(^{\frac{9}{2}}\) isn't good...
t just becomes \(t=\sqrt{x}\) yeah?

Answer 1

what is wrong with
\[y=\sqrt{x}^9\]?

Answer 2

oh i see maybe it should be
\[y=\pm\sqrt{x}^9\]

Answer 3

\[t=\pm \sqrt{x}\]

Answer 4

Let me try and see if the computer gives me the option for a \(\pm\)

Answer 5

No such thing, is there a way to rewrite it where it doesn't require the \(\pm\) @satellite73 ?

Answer 6

Ah, got it, square both sides... x\(^2\)=y\(^9\) The picky literal syntax being required here is getting to be aggravating.
