For the curve x=2cos⁡t,  y=3sin⁡tx = 2\cos t,\; y = 3\sin t with 0≤t<2π0\le t < 2\pi, the tangent makes an angle of 45∘45^{\circ} with the positive xx-axis at which one of the following parameter values? a) t=tan⁡−1 ⁣(32)t = \tan^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\right) b) t=π−tan⁡−1 ⁣(32)t = \pi - \tan^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\right) c) t=π−tan⁡−1 ⁣(23)t = \pi - \tan^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right) d) t=π2+tan⁡−1 ⁣(32)t = \dfrac{\pi}{2} + \tan^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\right)
