Tangent lines and Normal lines

Tangent and normal lines can be computed by the differentiation of the equation of the curve. The differentiation of the curve with respect to the independent variable x is dy/dx and it gives the slope of the tangent, and the negative inverse of the differentiation -dx/dy gives the slope of the normal to the curve1.A tangent to a curve is a line that touches the curve at one...
