What is the difference between a tangent and a unit tangent?
1
What does a Tangent look like?
Usually a straight line that touches a curve at one point. At the point of contact, the tangent is perpendicular to the radius of curvature.
What are tangent circles?
Tangent circles are circles that touch one another without crossing. The distance between the centres of the circles must be equal to the difference or the sum of their radii.
Difference between secant lines and tangent lines?
A secant line touches a circle at two points. On the other hand a tangent line meets a circle at one point.
Difference between tangent and parallel lines?
parallel lines never touch, never get any closer or any further apart. tangent lines touch at one point

What is the difference between a tangent and a secant?
They are different trigonometric ratios!

Center of curvature in differential calculus?
Center of curvature = r(t) + (1/k)(unit inward Normal) k = curvature Unit inward normal = vector perpendicular to unit tangent r(t) = position vector
What are tangent circles?
Tangent circles are circles that touch one another without crossing. The distance between the centres of the circles must be equal to the difference or the sum of their radii.
What is meant by 'tangent to the path?
The immediate surroundings of any point on a curved path can be considered as part of a circle: the circle of curvature at that point. Then the tangent to the path at that point is a line that meets the path at only one point in that neighbourhood and which is perpendicular to the line joining the point to the centre of the circle or curvature. The concept can be extended to straight segments of the path by assuming that the centre of curvature is at an infinite distance. In that case, the path and its tangent are the same line.
Difference between secant lines and tangent lines?
A secant line touches a circle at two points. On the other hand a tangent line meets a circle at one point.
Difference between tangent and parallel lines?
parallel lines never touch, never get any closer or any further apart. tangent lines touch at one point
The measure of a tangent-tangent angle is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs?
True
Whhat is the difference between an inscribed and an circumscribed shape?
Inscribed has the vertices n the circle.Circumscribed has the sides tangent to the circle.
What is the difference between tangent and secant line?
The tangent line is the instantaneous rate of change at a point on a curve. The secant line crosses a curve twice at points A and B, representing the average rate of change between those two points.
What is tangent in trigonometry?
Tangent is the ratio between perpendicular to the base of the triangle.
