Tangent And Normal

Tangent And Normal Tangents and Normal is the introducing part in the Application of Derivatives. The chapter starts with basic concepts of equations of tangent and normal to general curves, angle of intersection between two curves and goes on to discuss more fundamental concepts such as the monotonocity of functions. The illustrations are so chosen that you will get a complete insight. The analytical and graphical methods have been used to make you have the feel of the things. "Tangents and Normal" is one of the scoring chapters of Differential Calculus in the Mathematics syllabus of IIT JEE, AIEEE and other engineering examinations. It requires a good understanding of graphs and further helps in the portion of Coordinate Geometry, another important unit in the syllabus. The chapter is important not only because it fetches 2-3 questions in most of the engineering examination but also because it is a helping hand in the unit of Coordinate Geometry.

Tangents and Normal is an important chapter in Differential calculus. It is considered to be marks fetching as the Multiple Choice Questions that are framed on this topic are direct and simple. Tangent is a straight line which passes through the curve or we can say the line touching the edge of a Circle or curve at a single Point, and never crosses it, there can be infinite number of Tangent to a circle or a curve. Normal is the perpendicular Straight Line on the tangent at the same point where the tangent touches the curve. The derivative of the point where the tangent passes through the curve is its Slope. The equation of tangent is as under: y - y0 = k (x - x 0) here 'k' is gradient or slope. Tangents and Normals are both interlinked however it is not necessary for a normal to make a tangent but to make a normal a tangent is required. At any point suppose (r, t) we can find slope of the tangent with the use of dt / dr. Normal is another term for the perpendicular. When two lines meet each other at Right Angle or 90othen they are normal to each other. Let us say we have two lines MN & YZ, if they form an angle of 900 with each other, then we can say that line MN is normal to line YZ, and, also line YZ is normal to line MN. With consideration in the formula which is mentioned above, we can take two gradients suppose k1 and k2 they both are perpendicular then k1k2 = -1.

To find the equation of normal two gradients must be available. We can also calculate differential equation of the tangent and normal of a curve. This is all about tangents and normals. Tangents and Normals to a Curve An object experiences a force when it moves around a Point and we can use Tangents and Normals to a curve in order to calculate the force acting over that body or object. A Tangent is basically a straight line to a plane curve. This line is at a fixed point on the curve. These tangent lines just touch the plane of curve very slightly. This line coincides. Tangents and Normals to a Circle Normal to a Circle is a line which cuts the circle at right angles. For finding Equation of Circle we use line equation between two points. It always passes from Center of Circle. So for equation of a normal we can use line equation considering two points are line points.Tangent to a circle can be defined as a line which touches the circumference.
