Answer

$y = 0.51~x-0.00145~x^2+3.2$

Work Step by Step

From Part (a): $x = 105.14~t$ $y = 53.57~t-16~t^2+3.2$ We can find an expression for $t$ in terms of $x$: $x = 105.14~t$ $t = \frac{x}{105.14}$ We can substitute this value in the equation for $y$: $y = 53.57~t-16~t^2+3.2$ $y = 53.57~(\frac{x}{105.14})-16~(\frac{x}{105.14})^2+3.2$ $y = 0.51~x-0.00145~x^2+3.2$
