You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the equation shown is y^2(4-x) = x^3

divide both sides of the equation by (4-x) to get y^2 = x^3 / (4-x)

take the square root of both sides of the equation to get y = plus or minus sqrt(x^3 / (4-x)).

that equation looks like this:

y = plus or minus sqrt%28x%5E3+%2F+%284-x%29%29

the graph of that equation looks like this:
