Normal Vectors
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates how to construct the normal vector at a point on a given curve. Key mathematical concepts include vectors and the tangent line. Using GeoGebra commands Vector and objects f, P, Q, v, u, n, one can visually understand the properties of normal vectors. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning.
