“In this section we will apply⟳ the concept of connectedness in dimension d to study⟳ tangencies of algebraic varieties.”

“To be tangent to a circle or arc, a line must touch⟳ the circle or arc at only one point⟳, and a line drawn from the center of the circle or arc must be perpendicular to the tangent line at the point⟳ of tangency. (See⟳ Figure⟳ 6.82.)”

“If the original tangency is at A, then the new tangency cannot be at O or P, as either possibility would require⟳ two indifference curves to cross.[…]Instead, the new tangency is at a point⟳ like⟳ B.”
