Construction of the Tangent to a Parabola To find the tangent line to a curve at a point P we first pick another point on the curve a little bit away from P. Call this point Q. Do this below by ...

17. Let C C be the curve y = (x−1)3 y = (x 1) 3 and let L L be the line 3y+x = 0. 3 y + x = 0 Find the equation of all lines that are tangent to C C and are also perpendicular to L. L . Draw a labeled ...

Two lines, each determined by two points, as Euclid predicted, are tangent to a parabola. Point A is located at ( 4, 20 ), point B is located at ( 14, 25 ) and intersection C is at ( 9, 10 ...
