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.

Divide y by x to get t = (2/9)(y/x) and put that in for the t's.
 
Many thanks friend. Got this solved.
 
Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
