Parabola question
If someone could please help me with this, I would be extremely grateful since I've been at it for hours and I'm still confused:
I have a folding map f going from a 2 dimensional space to another 2 dimensional space below:
It consists of these two equations:
x = a + b
y = a^2 - 6ab
The question is: Find the equation for the parabola (in the x-y plane) on which the fold is located?

Re: Parabola question
Can you explain what a, b, x, and y are?
Sounds interesting.
