(558, #19) Use a graph to estimate the coordinates of the leftmost point on the curve
Then use calculus to find the exact coordinates.

Solution:

This is the parametric plot for 0 < t <1

It looks like the leftmost point of the curve is (-0.25, 0.40).
The leftmost part of the graph is where

t > 0 because of the ln portion of the y equation, so the only solution is .
Thus the point is:
