Rh proceeding is not clear nor your method cientific. For intance, it is uppoed that AB being the Abcis, BC the Ordinate,

and VCH a Tangent of the Curve AC, Bb or CE the Increment of the Abcis, Ec the Increment of the Ordinate, which produced meets VH in the Point T, and Cc the Increment of the Curve. The right Line Cc being produced to K, there are formed three mall Triangles, the Rectilinear CEc, the Mixtilinear CEc, and the Rectilinear Triangle CET. It is evident thee three Triangles are different from each other, the Rectilinear CEc being les than the Mixtilinear CEc, whoe Sides are the three Increments abovementioned, and this till les than the Triangle CET. It is uppoed that the Ordinate bc moves into the place BC, o that the Point c is coincident with the Point C; and the right Line CK, Rh
