  2. Parabola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola

    The focus does not lie on the directrix. The parabola is the locus of points in that plane that are equidistant from the directrix and the focus. Another description of a parabola is as a conic section, created from the intersection of a right circular conical surface and a plane parallel to another plane that is tangential to the conical ...

  3. Parallel (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_(geometry)

    In geometry, parallel lines are coplanar infinite straight lines that do not intersect at any point. Parallel planes are planes in the same three-dimensional space that never meet. Parallel curves are curves that do not touch each other or intersect and keep a fixed minimum distance. In three-dimensional Euclidean space, a line and a plane that ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_equation

    We ask: When are two graphs the same? (i.e., graph isomorphism) The graphs in question may be expressed differently in terms of graph equations. [1] What are the graphs G and H such that the line graph of G is same as the total graph of H? (What are G and H such that L(G) = T(H) ?). For example, G = K 3, and H = K 2 are the solutions of the ...

  5. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line–line_intersection

    Assume that we want to find intersection of two infinite lines in 2-dimensional space, defined as a 1 x + b 1 y + c 1 = 0 and a 2 x + b 2 y + c 2 = 0. We can represent these two lines in line coordinates as U 1 = (a 1, b 1, c 1) and U 2 = (a 2, b 2, c 2). The intersection P′ of two lines is then simply given by [4]

    This proves that all points in the intersection are the same distance from the point E in the plane P, in other words all points in the intersection lie on a circle C with center E. [5] This proves that the intersection of P and S is contained in C. Note that OE is the axis of the circle. Now consider a point D of the circle C. Since C lies in ...

    De Morgan's laws represented with Venn diagrams.In each case, the resultant set is the set of all points in any shade of blue. In propositional logic and Boolean algebra, De Morgan's laws, [1] [2] [3] also known as De Morgan's theorem, [4] are a pair of transformation rules that are both valid rules of inference.

  8. Hyperbolic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_geometry

    The line B is not included in the model. The Euclidean plane may be taken to be a plane with the Cartesian coordinate system and the x-axis is taken as line B and the half plane is the upper half (y > 0 ) of this plane. Hyperbolic lines are then either half-circles orthogonal to B or rays perpendicular to B.

  9. Matrix representation of conic sections - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_representation_of...

    If L intersects Q in only one point, then it is a tangent line and p is the point of tangency. Finally, if L does not intersect Q then p has no tangent lines passing through it and it is called an interior or inner point. [17] The equation of the tangent line (in homogeneous coordinates) at a point p on the non-degenerate conic Q is given by,
