Homework Statement
Find equation of the tangent line at t=0
x=2sint
y=tant
The Attempt at a Solution
Really don't know where to start, can someone give me the hint, don't solve it, i want to try it, just need a hint
The equation of a tangent line is a linear function that touches a curve at a specific point and has the same slope as the curve at that point.
To find the equation of a tangent line, you need to first find the slope of the curve at the specific point. Then, you can use the point-slope form of a line to plug in the slope and the coordinates of the point to find the equation of the tangent line.
Yes, the equation of a tangent line can be negative. The slope of the tangent line can be positive, negative, or zero, depending on the slope of the curve at the specific point.
To find the equation of a tangent line, you need to know the coordinates of the point where the tangent line touches the curve. You also need to know the slope of the curve at that point.
Finding the equation of a tangent line is important because it allows us to understand the behavior of a curve at a specific point. It also helps us to approximate the curve and make predictions about its behavior near the point of tangency.
