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 ...

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 ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

As a tangent is a straight line it is described by an equation in the form \(y - b = m(x - a)\). You need both a point and the gradient to find its equation. You are usually given the point - it's ...

To find the tangent line to a curve at a point P we first pick another point on the curve a little bit away from P. Call this point Q. Do this below by clicking "Another Point". Then connect these two ...
