Tangent Planes and How to Build Them

Tangent lines were important in single variable calculus because they give a good way to approximate a complicated function with a simple function near a given point. Similarly, tangent planes give a good way to approximate complicated 2-variable functions with a simple function, but how do you set up the equation for a tangent plane?

After long search ultimately I got the answer of the junction point of single variable to double variable that leads to multivariable view point of grad and tangent point. Many thanks. Kindly upload a video of direction of the gradient and actual line of ascent on the surface with an example (with 3D graph) of an paraboloid. ❤from 🇮🇳🙏.

No, two independent lines do not uniquely define a plane. In three-dimensional space, a plane is defined by at least three non-collinear points. The reason is that a single line can be drawn through any two points, and multiple lines can be parallel to each other while lying in different planes. To uniquely determine a plane, you need three points that are not collinear (meaning they are not on a single straight line). These three points can then be used to form a unique plane in three-dimensional space.

What we do in multi variable calculus is take 3 points, form 2 vectors with them and then take the cross product to find a normal to both of them. Then we use one point, the one they both share in common, and plug them in to the equation of a plane. The vector will be a,b,c… and the point will be x0,y0,z0…. Apparently a plane is defined by a vector normal to the plane and a point on the plane.
