Is there a way to solve this equation without Calculus concepts? I am enrolled in Geometry and this is extra credit and I'm having a hard time understanding this. Please mind how stupid I may sound if I said something wrong.

Explanation:

ω = ω₀ + αt

θ = ω₀ t + ½ αt²

We need to eliminate t from the system of equations. Solve for t in the first equation, then substitute it into the second equation.

t = (ω − ω₀) / α

θ = ω₀ (ω − ω₀) / α + ½ α ((ω − ω₀) / α)²

θ = ω₀ (ω − ω₀) / α + ½ (ω − ω₀)² / α

αθ = ω₀ (ω − ω₀) + ½ (ω − ω₀)²

αθ = ω₀ω − ω₀² + ½ (ω² − 2ω₀ω + ω₀²)

αθ = ω₀ω − ω₀² + ½ ω² − ω₀ω + ½ ω₀²

αθ = ½ ω² − ½ ω₀²

2αθ = ω² − ω₀²
