Pi is for math and Greek spellers.

Have you considered following the instructions and eliminating the variable?

Answer 2

yea sorry and i tried but couldnt do it

Answer 3

Since you have \(\ \large x= 6\tan(t)\) and \(\ y=8 \sec(t)\) , which trig identity do you know relates to both \(\ \sec (t)\) and \(\ \tan(t)\)?

Answer 4

Do you not remember your trig identities?

Answer 5

yes i do

Answer 6

Can you list them? :)

Answer 7

sec(u) = 1/cosu
tan(u) = 1/cotu
