Because it leads to the limit concept which in turn leads to concept of derivative...

∙ 10y agoAlthough normally it is the line that is considered to be tangent to an arc, an arc can be tangent to infinitely many lines and so the answer to the question is: in infinitely many ways.
parallel lines never touch, never get any closer or any further apart. tangent lines touch at one point
You can have a tangent line for every point on a circle, so the answer is theoretically infinite.
A secant line touches a circle at two points. On the other hand a tangent line meets a circle at one point.

Two lines tangent to a circle at the endpoints of its diameter are parallel. See related link for proof.

yes,the direction of electric force on a charge is tangent of field lines.

Tangent to the curve.
Tangent is used in calculus to compute the slope of a curve. Because curves do not have uniform slopes, unlike lines, their slopes change. A tangent is the slope of a curve at a specific point.
