Let be the vanishing ideal of an embedded submanifold. Tangency says . Hence, for ,so the criterion from part (d) makes tangent to .
In adapted coordinates, the tangential coefficients of the displayed bracket use only the restrictions of the tangential coefficients of and their derivatives along ; all normal coefficients vanish there. Consequentlyso the restriction depends only on and . This is tangency under the Lie bracket.
