Homework Statement
Find a Cartesian equation relating x and y corresponding to the parametric equations
x = \frac{2t}{t^3+1}
y = \frac{9t^2}{t^3+1}
t \neq -1
Write your answer in the form P(x,y)=0,
where P is a polynomial in x and y such that the coefficient of x^3 is 729.
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.
