Answer

$y=x^{2}(x-2),\ \ x\geq 0.$

Work Step by Step

From the parametric equation for x, $x\geq 0.$ From the parametric equation for y, $y=(t^{2})^{3}-2(t^{2})^{2}\qquad ...$substitute $x$ for $t^{2}$ $y=x^{3}-2x^{2}\qquad ...$ include the restriction for x $y=x^{3}-2x^{2},\qquad x\geq 0.$ $ y=x^{2}(x-2)\qquad\Rightarrow x\geq 0.$ To graph, create a function value table using values for t, in ascending order of t, calculating the x- and y-coordinates of points on the graph. Plot and join the points obtained with a smooth curve, noting the direction in which t increases.
