Find the equation of the line tangent to the parametric  curve given by the equations  { ((x=(1+t^3 )^4 +t^2 )),((y=t^5 +t^2 +2)) :} at t=1

 x = (1 + t^3 )^4  + t^2  , when t = 1, x = 17  ⇒ (dx/dt) = 12t^2 (1+t^3 )^3 + 2t   also y = t^5  + t^2  + 2 when t = 1, y = 4  ⇒ (dy/dt) = 5t^4  + 2t       (dy/dx) = (dy/dt)×(dt/dx) = ((5t^4 +2t)/(12t^2 (1+t^3 )^3 +2t))  ((dy/dx))_(t=1)  = (5/(98))    y − 4 = (5/(99))(x−17)  98(y−4) = 5(x−17) [mistakes corrected]

typo it should be (7/(98))

$${typo}\:{it}\:{should}\:{be}\:\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{98}} \\ $$

gradient (m)=(dy/dx) = (dy/dt)×(dt/dx)   = ((5t^4 +2t)/(12t^2 (1+t^3 )^3 +2)) = (7/(98))  for t = 1 → { ((x=17)),((y=4)) :}  eq of line tangent 7x−98y=7(17)−98(4)  7x−98y=119−392  ⇔7x−98y+273=0

$${gradient}\:\left({m}\right)=\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}\:=\:\frac{{dy}}{{dt}}×\frac{{dt}}{{dx}} \\ $$$$\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{5}{t}^{\mathrm{4}} +\mathrm{2}{t}}{\mathrm{12}{t}^{\mathrm{2}} \left(\mathrm{1}+{t}^{\mathrm{3}} \right)^{\mathrm{3}} +\mathrm{2}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{98}} \\ $$$${for}\:{t}\:=\:\mathrm{1}\:\rightarrow\begin{cases}{{x}=\mathrm{17}}\\{{y}=\mathrm{4}}\end{cases} \\ $$$${eq}\:{of}\:{line}\:{tangent}\:\mathrm{7}{x}−\mathrm{98}{y}=\mathrm{7}\left(\mathrm{17}\right)−\mathrm{98}\left(\mathrm{4}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{7}{x}−\mathrm{98}{y}=\mathrm{119}−\mathrm{392} \\ $$$$\Leftrightarrow\mathrm{7}{x}−\mathrm{98}{y}+\mathrm{273}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$ \\ $$
