We can calculate the gradient of a tangent to a curve by differentiating. In order to find the equation of a tangent, we: Differentiate the equation of the curve Substitute the \(x\) value into the ...
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 ...
Express the polar equation \(r=\cos 2\theta\) in rectangular coordinates. Find the maximum height above the \(x\)-axis of the cardioid \(r=1+\cos \theta\text{.}\) Sketch the graph of the curve whose ...
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 ...
Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...
