Question
Assuming that $y(6)=\pi / 3,$ find an equation of the tangent line to the graph of $y(t)$ at $(6, \pi / 3)$.
Step 1
We are also given that the tangent line to the graph at this point has the equation $y - y_0 = m(x - x_0)$, where $m$ is the slope of the tangent line, and $(x_0, y_0)$ is the point of tangency. Show more…
