I am asked to find the equation of the tanget line to the curve at the givien points. (y -y1 = m(x1-x))
The point is:
(-2/sqrt(3), 3/2)
Parametric Equations are:
where t = theta
x = 2*cot(t)
y = 2*sin^2(t)
How would i find what theta is in this set, inorder to solve dy/dx numericlly to get my slope (m)?
