Find an equation for the line tangent to the curve at the point defined by the given value of t.

Also, find the value of d2y/dx2 at this point x=6t, y = √t, t = 1/25

The equation for the line tangent to the curve at t=1/25 is?

d2y/dx2| t= 1/25 = ?

(a) dx/dt = 6, dy/dt = 1/2√t
dy/dx = (dy/dt)/(dx/dt) = 1/(12√t) = 1/(12 √(1/25)) = 5/12
When t = 1/25, x = 6t = 6/25 and y = √t = √(1/25) = 1/5
The equation to the line ...
