2subtangent — [sub tan′jənt] n. Geom. the segment of the x axis included between the ordinate of a given point on a curve and the tangent at that point …
3Subtangent — In geometry, the subtangent is the projection of the tangent upon the axis of abscissas (i.e., the x axis). Tangent here specifically means a line segment which is tangential to a point P on a curve and which intersects the x axis at point Q .… …
