can someone PLEASE help with this problem? Eliminate the parameter t and express y as a function of x for the equations x = t^2 and y = t^2 + 1
I've done the problem so many times and I keep getting y= x+1 and that's not an answer on my hw. (the answers are A. y= x+2 B. y= x^2 +2 C. y= x^2-2 D. y= x-2)
this is what I did:
x=t^2
√(x)=t
y=√(x) ^2 +1
y=x+1
What am I doing wrong?? Please I've been trying so this problem for so long and I'm getting really annoyed with it.

As per the given parametric equations, x = t^2 and y = t^2 + 1, your answers y = x + 1 is absolutely right.
