Parametric equation-eliminate the parameter, please help! (1 Viewer)

x=2(p+q)
y=p^(3)+q^(3)

 

[Carrotsticks]

y=(p+q)(p^2 - pq + q^2)

Note that p^2 + q^2 = (p+q)^2 - 2pq.

Now, to finish your question, we need some sort of condition (usually something like pq=-1).

yeh sorry it was pq=-1

Then I guess you're done =)
