    y = 6x - 11

    Step-by-step explanation:

    x = t + (1/t), y = t² + (1/t²)

    If we square x:

    x² = t² + 2 + (1/t²)

    x² = y + 2

    When x = 3, y = 7.

    Taking derivative with respect to time:

    2x = dy/dx

    dy/dx = 6

    So the equation of the tangent line is:

    y - 7 = 6 (x - 3)

    y - 7 = 6x - 18

    y = 6x - 11
