this must be a long problem!
equation of tangent line at point (x1,y1) \[y = f'(x_1) (x - x_1) + y_1\]
\[x=t-t ^{-1}, y=1+t ^{2}; t=1\]\[\frac{ dx }{ dt }=1+t ^{-2}, \frac{ dy }{ dt }=2t\]When t=1, \[x_{1}=1-1^{-1}=0\]\[y_{1}=1+1^{2}=2\]\[\frac{ dy }{ dx }=\frac{ 2t }{ 1+t ^{-2} }=\frac{ 2 }{ 2 }=1\] \[y-2=1(x-0)\]\[y=x+2\]
It's a simple problem, but I just want to make sure I have the steps right :)
looks good to me
