Circling the Tangent

Circling the Tangent is a lesson for students in a high school level calculus course or precalculus class. TSW learn and write the equations for circles. TSW solve equations to find values from inputs. TSW define tangent and normal lines. TSW use definitions of tangents and normals with the circle equation to create a unique artwork. Instructions. Students will write 5 equations. Each for a circle with a radius of 8 units. The centers are the origin and then in each quadrant such that four circles are tangent to both…
