Learn how to find the derivative of an implicit function. The derivative of a function, y = f(x), is the measure of the rate of change of the function, y, with respect to the variable x. The process ...
As the tangent is a straight line, the equation of the tangent will be of the form \(y = mx + c\). We can use perpendicular gradients to find the value of \(m\), then use the coordinates of P to find ...
Find \(\ds \lim_{h\to 0}\frac{f(1+h)-f(1)}{h}\) where \(\ds f(x)=\frac{3x+1}{x-2}\text{.}\) What does the result in (a) tell you about the tangent line to the graph ...
A tangent to a circle at point P is a straight line that touches the circle at P. The tangent is perpendicular to the radius which joins the centre of the circle to the point P. As the tangent is a ...
