Gradient orthogonal to tangent Suppose that a differentiable function \(f(x, y)\) has the constant value c along the differentiable curve \(x=g(t), y=h(t)\); that is,

\(f(g(t), h(t))=c\)

for all values of t. Differentiate both sides of this equation with respect to t to show that \(\nabla f\) is orthogonal to the curve's tangent vector at every point on the curve.
