Tangents, Normals And Rates Of Change
Muhtasari
A tangent line just touches a curve at a single point, running in exactly the same direction as the curve at that instant. Its perpendicular partner, the normal, points straight into the curve. Together they unlock a family of problems that link algebra, coordinate geometry and calculus in a single question.
In this topic you will learn how to use differentiation to find the gradient of a curve at any point, build the equations of tangent and normal lines, and extend the chain rule to connected rates of change. You will also meet the small-change approximation, a powerful tool for estimating how a function responds to a tiny shift in its input.
Malengo
- Find the equations of tangents and normals to the curve y = f(x)
- Apply calculus to rates of change and connected rates of change
- Understand and use the approximation dy is approximately equal to (dy/dx) times dx for small dx
