That depends on what it is that you're looking for the tangent of. One generic technique though would be:
- Find the derivative of the curve who's tangents you're looking at.
- Calculate the perpendicular slope to that of the line you're given.
- Solve that derivative for all values giving you that perpendicular slope.
- Plug those values into the original curve to find a defining point, and write your line functions with those.

How do you construct a transverse common tangent to two circles?
To construct a transverse common tangent to two circles, first draw a line connecting the centers of the two circles. Then, find the points where this line intersects the circles. From each intersection point, draw a line perpendicular to the line connecting the centers; these lines will intersect outside the circles. The lines connecting the intersection points of the tangents to the circles will form the transverse common tangents.

How do you find how many degrees a shape is without a protractor?
The degree of an angle can be determined using the tangent function. From one ray of the angle, draw a perpendicular line until it intersects the other ray of the angle. Measure the length of the first ray (A) and the perpendicular line (B) and set as a ratio of B/A. This ratio is equal to the tangent of the angle.
What is an easy equation for finding the normal line?
The first thing you may want to do would be to find the tangent line to the function. The tangent line is a line that passes through a given point on a function, but does not touch any other point on the function (assuming the function is one to one). Assuming you have the tangent line, the normal line is simply perpendicular to the tangent line- it forms a 90 degree angle with the tangent line. One you have the tangent line and the point which it passes through, you can find the normal line. To obtain the perpendicular line to any function, take the inverse reciprocal of the slope (if your slope was 2, it is now -.5). After that, plug in your (x, y) coordinate, and you can solve for the constant b (assuming there is one). This should give the normal line to a tangent of at a point on a function.
How do you find the slope of the tangent line to each curve at the given point?
By differentiating the answer and plugging in the x value along the curve, you are finding the exact slope of the curve at that point. In effect, this would be the slope of the tangent line, as a tangent line only intersects another at one point. To find the equation of a tangent line to a curve, use the point slope form (y-y1)=m(x-x1), m being the slope. Use the differential to find the slope and use the point on the curve to plug in for (x1, y1).

How do you find the center of the circle?
-- Draw any two random chords of the circle. -- Construct the perpendicular bisector of each chord. -- The perpendicular bisectors intersect at the center of the circle. All of this can be done with a compass, an unmarked straight-edge, and a pencil.
What is the difference between normal and perpendicular?
in 2 and 3 dimensions they turn out to be pretty much the same, but what would perpendicular mean in 4 or 6 dimensions? For example a line perpendicular to another intersects it and creates a 90 degree angle, it is also normal and a line can be normal to a plane also. Normal is a more general term that can be used in higher dimensions and other setting where perpendicular might make no sense. For example, if you know what a dot product is that two vectors are normal if their dot product is zero, These may be n dimensional vectors and perpendicular would make no sense. In many more abstract settings normal works but perpendicular would have no meaning at all. There are more technical explanations but I hope to make this answer more intuitive! There is a very slight difference between NORMAL and PERPENDICULAR. Well NORMAL is that perpendicular which is drawn at the contact point between two meeting lines. Its simple as this. For example in case of tangents (which is drawn to find the direction of a point in a curve) the perpendicular draw at the meeting point of the tangent and the curve is called normal. Its like, every normal is a perpendicular but all perpendiculars are not normal. I hope this clears all your doubt.
How do you find a slope of a line perpendicular?
If two nonvertical lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slope is -1.An equivalent way of stating this relationship is to say that one line is perpendicular to another line if its slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other. For example, if a line has slope 3, any line having slope - 1/3 is perpendicular to it. Similarly, if a line has slope - 4/5, any line having the slope 5/4 is perpendicular to it.
How do you find the angle of a slope?

How do you use sine cosine and tangent?
They are used to find the angle or side measurement of a right triangle. For example, if 2 sides of a right triangle have known values and an angle has a known measurement, you can find the third side by using sine, cosine or tangent.
