Question

Eliminate the parameter.

x = t + 4, y = t^2

Answer 1

solve x=t+4 for t
then replace the t in y=t^2
and then done

Answer 2

@notmathnerd do you understand?

Answer 3

yes I do thank you

Answer 4

would it be y=x^2 - 16 ? @myininaya

Answer 5

hmmm
not correct but i think it is because you forgot a simple algebraic rule (and don't worry a lot of people forget it)

Answer 6

(a-b)^2 doesn't meant a^2-b^2

Answer 7

(a-b)^2 means (a-b)(a-b)

Answer 8

so what am i saying is i'm pretty sure you got this far y=(x-4)^2
but you didn't expand the (x-4)^2 correctly
that is all

Answer 9

So the answer is actually x^2 - 8x + 16?

Answer 10

the answer is actually y=x^2-8x+16

Answer 11

ok thank you
