Answer

$y= x^2-2x$; $v(1)=i+2j$ and $a(1)=2j$

Work Step by Step

Since, we have $x=t+1; y=t^2-1$ and, $t^2-1=(t-1)(t+1)$ This can be written as: $y=(x-2)x \implies x^2-2x$ Now, velocity $v(t)=r'(t)=i+2tj$ and $v(1)=i+2j$ As we know acceleration $a(t)=v'(t)=2j$ and $a(1)=2j$ Hence, we have $y= x^2-2x$; $v(1)=i+2j$ and $a(1)=2j$
