Homework Statement
Find a Cartesian equation relating x and y corresponding to the parametric equations
[itex]x = \frac{2t}{t^3+1}[/itex]
[itex]y = \frac{9t^2}{t^3+1}[/itex]
[itex]t \neq -1 [/itex]
Write your answer in the form [itex]P(x,y)=0[/itex],
where [itex]P[/itex] is a polynomial in [itex]x[/itex] and [itex]y[/itex] such that the coefficient of [itex]x^3[/itex] is [itex]729[/itex].
2. The attempt at a solution
So I already have the second part of the question done which is finding the tangent line at a point, which I solved using dy/dt and dx/dt. I just cannot for the life of me figure out how to start this problem. I have tried solving for t and that has failed miserably. If anyone could just give me a little aid on how to get started, I could most likely solve it from there. Cheers.
