Differentiation help. *question attached below* Will give medal

OpenStudy (itiaax):

So I was trying to figure out this question. I differentiated first and tried to make my result be equal to 2x-3, but I stil haven't got any luck in finding the values of t.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

What did you get for the general derivative? Where do the curves meet?

OpenStudy (itiaax):

I got \[\frac{ 2 }{ 2t+1 }\] for the derivative

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i don't see how are you going to use derivatives here... don't you simply solve the system to find the intersecting point ?

OpenStudy (itiaax):

Hmm, well it was under Calculus so I guessed I had to use differentiation

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i would eliminate the parameter and and solve the system

OpenStudy (itiaax):

Alrighty
