Answer

a) graph is shown in the picture b) $y=t-2=\sqrt {x}-2$

Work Step by Step

a) for some values of $ t$ and correspending $x$ and $y$ values are shown in the table. $x=t^{2}\Rightarrow t=\sqrt {x};$ $y=t-2=\sqrt {x}-2$ So the graph is shown in the picture b)As we found earlier $y=t-2=\sqrt {x}-2$
