Homework Statement
The function f(t)= (t2,1/t) represents a curve in the plane parametrically.
Write an equation in parametric form for the tangent line to this curve at the point where t=2
The Attempt at a Solution
I can solve the gradient from an implicit equation, but solving from a parametric equation confuses me.
Would the gradient of f(t)= <2t, -1/t2>?
Then plug in the value t=2 to get the point?
Would that be correct?
Thanks for the input..
