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.....
