Find a Cartesian equation for the following parametric equai
Find a Cartesian equation for the following parametric equaiton.
x=(t^2) +1, y=(t/2)
x=(t^2) +1, y=(t/2)
Solution
x=(t^2) +1, y=(t/2)
t =2y
x = (t^2) + 1
x = (2y)^2 + 1
x = 4y^2 + 1

x=(t^2) +1, y=(t/2)
t =2y
x = (t^2) + 1
x = (2y)^2 + 1
x = 4y^2 + 1
