ok here's the problem

You are given the following.

x=ln(t) y=sqrt(t)

*sqrt= square root

(a) Eliminate the parameter to find a Cartesian equation of the curve.

basically convert the given into a cartesian equation
answer should be in this form
y=________
this is my work so far...

e^x=eln(t)
e^x=t

substitute t into the y equation

y=sqrt(e^x)

it is incorrect...
i cant see why?

 

Just be glad there is no z.

 

It's correct.

Note that sqrt(e^x) = (e^x)^(1/2) = e^(x/2). Was this last formula what you were given as the correct answer?

Now I'm off to finish grading homework in my linear algebra and differential equations class.

 

^ thats right forgot you can write it like that....
i appreciate it!!!

 

De nada.
