Homework Statement
Find parametric equations for the tangent line to the curve x= t^4, y= t^4, z=t^3 at the point (1,1,1)
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I understand everything about solving this problem with the exception of how to find what t =? to plug in. ie: This equation it equals 1, other problems I see it equals 0 or 2Pi, yet not a single place in 3 books do I see any mention as to how to determine what t is.
What magic are they doing to figure this out?
Thanks,
