Answer

$$y=3x+3$$

Work Step by Step

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