eliminate parameter.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }t+4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y=t ^{3}\]

OpenStudy (sh3lsh):

Plug it in! \[t=\sqrt[3]{y}\] \[x=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\sqrt[3]{y}+4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2(x-4)=t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i plugged that into my y equation.

OpenStudy (sh3lsh):

You can eliminate the parameter by solving for y in terms of t OR x in terms of t, then back-substitution.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be wrong if i did because ive been solving for x

OpenStudy (sh3lsh):

Nah, solving for x is still a way, so you can!

OpenStudy (sh3lsh):

Also, uh, your mathematics is right.. @FaiqRaees what was the problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so really one can solve for both x and y right?

OpenStudy (sh3lsh):

yeah!

OpenStudy (sh3lsh):

Since you have x in terms of t and y in terms of t you can eliminate that parameter t
