Answer

$y=\pm x^{3/2}$, or $ y^{2}=x^{3}, \quad x \geq 0,\ \ t\in \mathbb{R}, \ \ y\in \mathbb{R}$ See image:

Work Step by Step

Build a table of coordinates (x,y) $x=f(t)=t^{2},\quad \qquad y=g(t)=t^{3}$ Plot the points and join with a smooth curve. Taking the initial t to be the first point in the table, track the direction in which the points "travel" as t increases. b. From $ x=t^{2},\ \ \quad x \geq 0,\ \ t\in \mathbb{R}, \ \ t=\pm\sqrt{x}$ Substituting t into the other equation, we get $y=t^{3}$ $y=\pm x^{3/2}$, or $y^{2}=x^{3}$
