Answer

$$y =\frac{-3}{\pi}x+2$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$x=\sin(\pi t),\ \ \ y=t^2+t \ \ \ ;(0,2)$$ Since at $(0,2)$, we have \begin{aligned}x& =\sin(\pi t)\\ 0&=\sin(\pi t )\\ \pi t&=0\\ t&=0,\ \pi ,\ 2\pi ,\cdots \end{aligned} Then $$ t=0,\ \ \ \ t=1,\ 2,\ 3,\cdots $$ Since $y=2$ at $t=1 $, then we reject all value execpt $t=1$ \begin{aligned} \frac{d y}{d t}=2t+1, \ \ \ \ \frac{d x}{d t}=\pi \cos (\pi t)\end{aligned} Then \begin{aligned} \frac{d y}{d x}&=\frac{d y / d t}{d x / d t}\\ &=\frac{2t+1}{\pi \cos (\pi t)} \end{aligned} Hence the slope at $(0,2)$ \begin{aligned} m&= \frac{-3}{\pi} \end{aligned} The tangent line equation given by \begin{aligned} \frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}&=m\\ \frac{y-2}{x-0}&=\frac{-3}{\pi}\\ y-2&= \frac{-3}{\pi}x\\ y&=\frac{-3}{\pi}x+2 \end{aligned}
