Question

Check my answer please!
Eliminate the parameter
x = t + 4, y = t^2

Answer 1

I got y = squareroot x - 4

Answer 2

@satellite73 Did I do this right?

Answer 3

How did squared become square root??

Answer 4

Show your work because you're almost right

Answer 5

Well don't I have to square root the side to get t alone?

Answer 6

Show your work

Answer 7

x= t + 4
-4
x-4 = t

y=t^2
squareroot y = t

Answer 8

hmm.. kinda looks funny now.

Answer 9

You've done nothing wrong (in that working).

Your final answer earlier, was wrong.

Answer 10

y = squareroot x + x + 4?

Answer 11

You're making this more complicated than it is.

You have:
x-4 = t
and:
y = t^2

You want:
y = ...

Answer 12

y= (x-4)^2
y= x^2 + 16?

Answer 13

oops

Answer 14

y= (x-4)^2 <=== yes

y= x^2 + 16 <=== no, do not make this mistake... you can't just distribute the exponent like that.

Answer 15

x6@ -8x + 16

Answer 16

y=x^2 - 8x + 16
