y = 2t
Eliminate the parameter and write a rectangular equation

Answer 1

substitute

Answer 2

substitute what?

Answer 3

t = y/2

Answer 4

(y/2)^2 + 3 ?

Answer 5

x = that

Answer 6

thats what the answer is ?

Answer 7

you tell me... do you know the definition of rectangular equation? If not, look it up to be sure

Answer 8

so yes , thats the answer..

Answer 9

what?

Answer 10

yes

Answer 19

what part is confounding you?

Answer 20

all of it

Answer 21

what is a parametric equation?

Answer 22

just help me understand , i replaced the t with 2/y

Answer 23

basically the question i gave you

Answer 24

did you see them do the same in the attachement? did you look at page 2, ex. 2?

Answer 25

so the answer is 3+y^2/2

Answer 26

no... t = y/2. so t^2 = (y/2)^2

not t = y^2/2

they're different

Answer 27

so its 3 + (y/2) ^2

Answer 28

or 3 + y^2 / 4
