Curves

The document contains 29 questions related to drawing different types of curves and determining properties like tangents and normals. The curves include spirals, ellipses, parabolas, involutes, hypocycloids, and loci. Many questions involve specifying parameters like radii or axes lengths and drawing the curves based on those parameters. Other questions involve determining tangents, normals or other properties at specified points on the curves.
