The tangent is defined as the single point where a straight line meets a curved surface. The tangent can be determined with a collection of mathematical formulas but is most commonly determined by ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Finding the slope of a linear function is straightforward. Furthermore the slope is the same at each point on the function. However this is not the case with non-linear functions. A non-linear ...

In math and statistics, you may occasionally need to calculate the slope of a line generated by coordinates in the (x,y) format. The slope is a value that indicates the rate at which the y value of a ...
