Homework Statement
Find an equation of the tangent to the curve given by
x=tan(∅)
y=sec(∅)
at the point (1,sqrt(2))
The answer should be in the form y=f(x) without ∅
The Attempt at a Solution
Tangent line equation...
y-y*=m(x-x*)
m = dy/dx
m = sec(∅)tan(∅) / (sec^2(∅)
m = tan∅ / sec(∅)
m = sin∅
This is what I did so far, I'm a bit lost obviously
