A curve \(C\) is defined by the parametric equations

\(x=\frac{t}{1+{{t}^{2}}}\), \(y=\frac{t}{1-{{t}^{2}}}\), where \(0\le t<1\).

  1. Find the equation of the tangent to \(C\) at the point where \(x=\frac{2}{5}\).[4]
  2. Find the exact area of the finite region bounded by \(C\), the tangent found in part (i) and the \(x\)-axis.[4]
