- Tangents and Normals - GeeksforGeeks
Tangents and normals are straight lines used to describe important geometric properties of curves A tangent is a line that touches a curve at a specific point without crossing it at that point A normal is the line drawn perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact Using differentiation, we can determine the slopes and equations of both the tangent and the normal to a curve Since
