Eliminate the parameter. x = t + 4, y = t2
Solution:
Let us cosider
x = t + 4 as equation 1
and y = t2 as equation 2
Expressing t in terms of x from the first equation and substituting in the second equation,
t = 4 - x from equation 1
After substituting in equation 2, we get
y = (4 - x)2
y = 16 + x2 - 8x
Hence we obtain y = x2 - 8x + 16 after removing parameter t.
Eliminate the parameter. x = t + 4, y = t2
Summary:
Eliminating the parameter x = t + 4, y = t2 we have y = x2 - 8x + 16
