As the tangent is a straight line, the equation of the tangent will be of the form \(y = mx + c\). We can use perpendicular gradients to find the value of \(m\), then use the coordinates of P to find ...
In mathematics, the tangent line to a curve at a point is a straight line that touches the curve at this point only. The tangent line can provide valuable insights into the properties of the curve, ...
Find \(\ds \lim_{h\to 0}\frac{f(1+h)-f(1)}{h}\) where \(\ds f(x)=\frac{3x+1}{x-2}\text{.}\) What does the result in (a) tell you about the tangent line to the graph ...
The unit circle is an essential concept in mathematics, particularly in trigonometry. Understanding the unit circle makes it easier to grasp the foundation of many concepts, such as angles, sine, ...
A tangent to a circle at point P is a straight line that touches the circle at P. The tangent is perpendicular to the radius which joins the centre of the circle to the point P. As the tangent is a ...
