I am given the function f[x, y] = x^2 + y^2. I then have to plot the planes that are tangent to this surface at certain points. I have no problem with that, but I am then asked to use Manipulate to create an interactive plot where the tangential plane moves as I move the slider. How do I do this?

You might want to look up Slider2D[]. – J. M.'s missing motivation Oct 08 '16 at 21:42

OP does not respond but instead of closing it as plain off topic I will link an answer which seems to do what OP wanted. The full topic is not very related but the second answer is: https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/38900/5478 – Kuba Apr 13 '18 at 08:10
