For a curve defined by x=f(t),  y=g(t)x=f(t),\;y=g(t), suppose at t=1t=1 we have g′(1)=0g'(1)=0 and f′(1)=0f'(1)=0. What can be concluded about the tangent at the corresponding point? a) The tangent is horizontal. b) No tangent exists at that point (the curve has a cusp). c) The nature of the tangent cannot be determined from the given data. d) The tangent is vertical.
