Answer

$y=2 x+1$.

Work Step by Step

Given $$x=1+\ln t,\ \ \ y=t^2+2 \ \ \ ;(1,3)$$ (a) Since at $(1,3)$, we have \begin{aligned} x&=1+\ln t\\ 1&=1+\ln (t)\\ 0&=\ln (t)\\ t&=1 \end{aligned} and \begin{aligned} \frac{d y}{d t}=2 t, \ \ \ \ \frac{d x}{d t}=\frac{1}{t}\end{aligned} Then \begin{aligned} \frac{d y}{d x}&=\frac{d y / d t}{d x / d t}\\ &=\frac{2 t}{1 / t}\\ &=2 t^2 \end{aligned} Hence the slope at $(1,3)$ \begin{aligned} m&= 2(1)^2=2 \end{aligned} The tangent line equation given by \begin{aligned} \frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}&=m\\ \frac{y-3}{x-1}&=2\\ y-3&= 2x-2\\ y&=2x+1 \end{aligned} (b) Since $$x=1+\ln t \Rightarrow \ln t=x-1 \Rightarrow t=e^{x-1}$$ Then \begin{aligned} y&= t^2+2\\ &=\left(e^{x-1}\right)^2+2\\ &=e^{2 x-2}+2 \end{aligned} At $(1,3)$, we have $$y^{\prime}=e^{2(1)-2} \cdot 2=2$$ Then the tangent line equation given by \begin{aligned} \frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}&=m\\ \frac{y-3}{x-1}&=2\\ y-3&= 2x-2\\ y&=2x+1 \end{aligned}
