Question
$y=-t+e^{a t}=0$$x=t+e^{a}$$\frac{d y}{d t}=-1+a e^{u r}$$\frac{d x}{d t}=1+a e^{u}$$\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{a e^{a t}-1}{a e^{a t}+1}=0$$\Rightarrow \mathrm{e}^{a t}=\frac{1}{a}$$\Rightarrow a t=-\ln a$$\mathrm{t}=-\frac{\ln \mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{a}}$$\mathrm{x}=-\frac{\ln \mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{a}}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{a}}=\frac{\ln \mathrm{e} / \mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{a}}=\frac{2}{\mathrm{a}}$
Step 1
Step 1: First, we are given the equations $y=-t+e^{a t}=0$ and $x=t+e^{a}$, and we are asked to find the slope of the tangent line to the curve at the point where $y=0$. Show more…
