3. Is it possible to solve x (t) for t, substitute it into y (t) to eliminate the parameter, t, and write it as a rectangular equation with x and y instead?

Why or why not?

These are the equations I am working with:•x (t) = 0.0411905 (t^2) + (-0.164619) t+28.0114

and

• y (t) = -0.024127 (t^2) + (-0.591143) t + (-87.4403)

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Though x and y can be achieved in a system of equations. The equation

x (t) = 0.0411905 (t^2) + (-0.164619) t+28.0114

And

y (t) = -0.024127 (t^2) + (-0.591143) t + (-87.4403)

Are not system of equations but rather two different models of equations. Nevertheless

To find t in the first equation, x (t) has to be equal to zero.

When the t is substituted in the second equation, t will completely disappear. Given the value of y (t) and vice versa.
