Answer 1

HI!!

Answer 2

solve the first one for \(t\) then plug that in to the second one

Answer 3

\[t=\frac{x+1}{2}\] plug that in for \(t\) in the second part, you will get a parabola

Answer 4

wait so i dont even know how to solve for t..

Answer 5

can you solve
\[x=2t-1\] for \(t\) ?

Answer 6

oh is it.. t=-1+x/2

Answer 7

no, but close

Answer 8

what did i do wrong?

Answer 9

what did you do? takes two steps

Answer 10

-2t=1+x
t=(-1+x/2)

Answer 11

\[x=2t-1\\
x+1=2t\\
\frac{x+1}{2}=t\]

Answer 12

so i plug that into like desmos and that is my answer?

Answer 13

Why don't you make a T table?

Answer 14

yeah like desmos
what the monkey is "desmos"?
and while i am asking, what the heck is a "T table"?

Answer 15

i know.. what is a T tables haha

Answer 16

desmos is a graphing calculator online
