Sentence examples for point of tangency from inspiring English sources

In other words, notice how much we can deduce about this curve if we study only the straight line segment at the point of tangency.

When a disc stands on its edge on a flat surface it touches the surface at one point, which is known as the point of tangency.

The straight line that represents the flat plane is known as a tangent and a line drawn from the point of tangency to the center of the disc is called a normal.

For example, let's suppose we were studying this particular curve, and we wanted to know what was happened to that curve in the neighborhood around the point p. Let's draw in the tangent line to the curve at the point p. Notice that this line that we've drawn serves as a wonderful approximation curve itself if we stay close enough to the point of tangency.

Let f=p_{K}-r_{W}{p_{W}}, then f(theta_{i})=0 at each point of tangency.

Then in the objective space, we move a straight-line with α as the gradient, from the right top towards the left bottom, until it touches the Pareto front, and the point of tangency gives the ideal choice to decision-makers.

This line is all the points of tangency between — like there is one, there is one, there is one.

Except the points of tangency, the top morphology was a gradually changed curve.

By Lemma 1, if we move (r_{W}W) by v for (epsilon>0) small enough, then (r_{W}W+epsiloncdot v) continues to lie in the interior of K and has no points of tangency.

The Vedic cosmology of ancient India is incredibly rich and has many points of tangency with modern cosmology, which may help in the construction of that common ground between science and religion that CERN is looking for.
