    1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
    Show that the transformation

    Code (Text):

     _        __  _  __
    | 0 -2 1   ||  x  |
    | -2 2 0   ||  y  |
    |_2 -2  1 _||_ 1_|
     
     
    takes all points on parabola y2=x onto the unit circle x2+y2=1
    2. Relevant equations



    3. The attempt at a solution
    I can't find out what to do I just need a hint about how to get started about doing this.
