I am having difficulty with a problem from my Precalc II course. The problem's text is:
The only progress I've made on this problem is to transform the equation of the parabola into the standard form of y^2 = (1 / 4a)x. But beyond that, I don't even know where to start.
93) Show that an equation of the tangent line at the point (x1, y1) on the parabola x = 4ay^2 is y = (1 / 8ay1)x + y1 / 2
