  2. Bitangent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitangent

    The Trott curve (black) has 28 real bitangents (red). This image shows 7 of them; the others are symmetric with respect to 90° rotations through the origin and reflections through the two blue axes. In geometry, a bitangent to a curve C is a line L that touches C in two distinct points P and Q and that has the same direction as C at these

  3. Tangent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent

    The tangent line is said to be "going in the same direction" as the curve, and is thus the best straight-line approximation to the curve at that point. The tangent line to a point on a differentiable curve can also be thought of as a tangent line approximation, the graph of the affine function that best approximates the original function at the ...

  4. Tangential angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_angle

    The tangential angle φ for an arbitrary curve A in P. In geometry, the tangential angle of a curve in the Cartesian plane, at a specific point, is the angle between the tangent line to the curve at the given point and the x-axis. [1] (Some authors define the angle as the deviation from the direction of the curve at some fixed starting point.

  5. Analytic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_geometry

    In geometry, the tangent line (or simply tangent) to a plane curve at a given point is the straight line that "just touches" the curve at that point. Informally, it is a line through a pair of infinitely close points on the curve. More precisely, a straight line is said to be a tangent of a curve y = f(x) at a point x = c on the curve if the ...

  6. Subtangent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtangent

    The distances shown are the ordinate (AP), tangent (TP), subtangent (TA), normal (PN), and subnormal (AN). The angle φ is the angle of inclination of the tangent line or the tangential angle. In geometry, the subtangent and related terms are certain line segments defined using the line tangent to a curve at a given point and the coordinate ...

  7. Envelope (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_(mathematics)

    In geometry, an envelope of a planar family of curves is a curve that is tangent to each member of the family at some point, and these points of tangency together form the whole envelope. Classically, a point on the envelope can be thought of as the intersection of two " infinitesimally adjacent" curves, meaning the limit of intersections of ...
