👉 The term "tangentally" is a technical term in mathematics that refers to the relationship between two curves or surfaces. It describes how one curve, or surface, intersects with another object, such as a line or plane. The tangent of a curve at a point on it is defined as the slope of the curve at that point. This means that if you have a curve and its tangent at any given point, you can find the value of the slope of the curve at that point by using
