Answer

$y=8(x-6)+\frac{\pi}{3}$

Work Step by Step

The equation of the tangent line at $(6,\frac{\pi}{3})$ is: $$y=\frac{dy}{dx}|_{x=6}(x-6)+y(6)$$ $$y=\frac{dy}{dx}|_{x=6}(x-6)+\frac{\pi}{3}$$ Using the given equation it follows: $$(\cos(y)+1)\frac{dy}{dx}=2t$$ $$(\cos(\frac{\pi}{3})+1)\frac{dy}{dx}|_{x=6}=2\cdot 6$$ $$(\frac{1}{2}+1)\frac{dy}{dx}|_{x=6}=2\cdot 6$$ $$\frac{dy}{dx}|_{x=6}=8$$ so: $$y=8(x-6)+\frac{\pi}{3}$$
