Question 1

What is a tangent line?

  • A line that intersects a curve at two points
  • A line that touches a curve at one point
  • A line that is always horizontal

💡 Hint: Think about how a curve can have different lines touching it.

Question 2

True or False: The normal line is always parallel to the tangent line.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the relationships of slopes in perpendicular lines.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Find the tangent line for y = ln(x) at x = 1 and express the normal line equation.

💡 Hint: Determine the derivative at x = 1, then apply point-slope form.

Question 2

Consider the curve y = x^2 as it intersects y = x + 1 at a point. Find the tangent and normal at that point.

💡 Hint: Set the two equations equal to find the intersection, then find derivatives at that point.
