What else can I help you with?
How do you find the slope of a tangent?
Take the derivative of the function.
Find the slope of a tangent line to the graph?
Use the four-step process to find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the given function at any point.
Is a slope a function?
Ofcourse it is. A tangent (usually known as the tanX f(x)) is the best example.
How do you get the tangent line without the graph?
The answer will depend on the context. If the curve in question is a differentiable function then the gradient of the tangent is given by the derivative of the function. The gradient of the tangent at a given point can be evaluated by substituting the coordinate of the point and the equation of the tangent, though that point, is then given by the point-slope equation.
What does the slope of a tangent to the curve of a velocity-time graph measure?
the slope of a tangent to the curve of a V vs T graph is acceleration at that point in time. the derivative of the function for the V vs T graph would be the function for acceleration at any given time
How is the normal drawn?
The normal line at a point on a surface is drawn perpendicular to the tangent line at that point. To find it, you first determine the slope of the tangent line by calculating the derivative of the function at that point. The slope of the normal line is the negative reciprocal of the tangent line's slope. Finally, you use the point-slope form of a linear equation to draw the normal line using the calculated slope and the coordinates of the point.
How do you differentiate and find the tangent?
When you differentiate a function, you find the slope of the function. The slope is also known as the tangent. The slope of a line, given one point, and a second point relative to the first point, but with x different, is given as delta y over delta x. Differentiation is simply taking the limit of the slope, i.e. where delta x approaches zero.
Why does taking the derivative of a function give you the slope of the tangent?
Why: Because that's what the derivative means, the way it is defined - the slope of the curve at any point of the line.
Derivative as the Slope of a Tangent?
Yes, the derivative of an equation is the slope of a line tangent to the graph.
How do you find the slope of an Indifference curve?
You find the tangent to the curve at the point of interest and then find the slope of the tangent.
How is tangent defined?
The tangent of an angle theta is defined as sine(theta) divided by cosine(theta). Since the sine and cosine are Y and X on the unit circle, then tangent(theta) is Y divided by X. The tangent of a function at a point is the line going through that point which has slope equal to the first deriviative of the function at that point.
How do you get the slope of a line on a graph?
Take a tangent at the point where you want the slope. Then the slope of the graph at that point is the slope of the tangent, which is found by taking another point on the tangent and then taking the change in y between the two points and divid it by the change in x.
