Eliminate the parameter.
-$\mathrm { x } = \mathrm { t } + 4 , \mathrm { y } = \mathrm { t } ^ { 2 }$
A) $y = \sqrt { x - 4 }$
B) $y = x ^ { 2 } + 16$
C) $y = \sqrt { x } + x + 4$
D) $y = x ^ { 2 } - 8 x + 16$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To eliminate the parameter $t$, solve the first equation for $t$: $t = x - 4$. Substitute $t = x - 4$ into the second equation to get $y = (x - 4)^2$, which simplifies to $y = x^2 - 8x + 16$.

Eliminate the Parameter x=t+4,y=t2\mathrm { x } = \mathrm { t } + 4 , \mathrm { y } = \mathrm { t } ^ { 2 }x=t+4,y=t2
