Answer

$x^2 +(y+\dfrac{g \ t^2}{2})=v_0^2 t^2$

Work Step by Step

$x^2 +(y+\dfrac{g \ t^2}{2})=(v_0 \cos \alpha)^2 t^2+(v_0 \sin \alpha)^2 t^2$ $\implies x^2 +(y+\dfrac{g \ t^2}{2})=v_0^2 t^2 ( \cos^2 \alpha+ \sin^2 \alpha)$ $\implies x^2 +(y+\dfrac{g \ t^2}{2})=v_0^2 t^2 (1)$ $\implies x^2 +(y+\dfrac{g \ t^2}{2})=v_0^2 t^2$
