PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE A MEDAL Eliminate the parameter. x =1/2t, y = 3t^3 - 1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

\[\Large x = \frac{1}{2}t\] right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

or is it \[\Large x = \frac{1}{2t}\] ??

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

solve the first equation for t (whatever it is, as Jim challenged). Then substitute that into the second equation instead of t. (you will end up with a function that has an output variable y, and input variable x)
