When given an equation that is not a line, first find the derivative of the curve. Next, plug in any value of x to find the slope of the tangent line at that point. Is the slope of the tangent line the derivative? No, the derivative is a formula based off the original equation. ...
, (x n, y n)} in the plane (image space) that lie on a straight line, parameterized by y = k 0 x + d 0, where k 0 is the slope and d 0 is the intercept of the line. A line passing through (x i, y i) fulfills the equation d = −x i k + y ...
A tangent to a curve is a line that touches the curve at one point. A normal is a line perpendicular to the curve at one point. Answer and Explanation: {eq}r(t)=\left \langle -2t+5,-3t,3t^2 \right \rangle {...
Answer to: Given r(t) = (e^t \cos t)i + (e^t \sin t)j + (\sqrt{2}\ e^t) k, write a in the form a = a_TT + a_NN at t = 0 without finding T or N. By...
How can the angle of an arc be found? The angle measure of an arc is the same as the measure of the two line segments that intersect to define it. That angle is opposite the arc it creates on that circle's circumference. How can the measure of an angle within a circle be found?
An extremal stabbing line l is a stabbing line for ~ which falls into one of the following three categories: t. I intersects four edges in four distinct polyhedra in ~¢ and is tangent to the same four polyhedra. 2. 1intersects one vertex and two edges in three distinct polyhedra in ...
Answer to: Consider the function f(x)= \cos x . Without finding the inverse, evaluate the derivative of the inverse of the function at the point...
Implicit Differentiation:In implicit differentiation, we take the derivative of an implicit function. First Derivative:The first derivative of a function gives the equation for the slope of the tangent line at any point on the curve. Second Derivative:The se...
