  2. Eccentricity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentricity_(mathematics)

    When the conic section is given in the general quadratic form A x 2 + B x y + C y 2 + D x + E y + F = 0 , {\displaystyle Ax^{2}+Bxy+Cy^{2}+Dx+Ey+F=0,} the following formula gives the eccentricity e if the conic section is not a parabola (which has eccentricity equal to 1), not a degenerate hyperbola or degenerate ellipse , and not an imaginary ...

  3. Unit circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_circle

    Thus, by the Pythagorean theorem, x and y satisfy the equation + = Since x 2 = (−x) 2 for all x, and since the reflection of any point on the unit circle about the x - or y-axis is also on the unit circle, the above equation holds for all points (x, y) on the unit circle, not only those in the first quadrant.

  4. Completing the square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completing_the_square

    In elementary algebra, completing the square is a technique for converting a quadratic polynomial of the form ⁠ + + ⁠ to the form ⁠ + ⁠ for some values of ⁠ ⁠ and ⁠ ⁠. [1] In terms of a new quantity ⁠ x − h {\displaystyle x-h} ⁠ , this expression is a quadratic polynomial with no linear term.

  5. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    The equation of the circle determined by three points (,), (,), (,) not on a line is obtained by a conversion of the 3-point form of a circle equation: () + () () () = () + () () (). Homogeneous form In homogeneous coordinates , each conic section with the equation of a circle has the form x 2 + y 2 − 2 a x z − 2 b y z + c z 2 = 0 ...

  6. Parametric equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_equation

    The standard method for computing a parametric form of the solution is to use Gaussian elimination for computing a reduced row echelon form of the augmented matrix. Then the unknowns that can be used as parameters are the ones that correspond to columns not containing any leading entry (that is the left most non zero entry in a row or the ...

  7. Gauss circle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_circle_problem

    Gauss's circle problem asks how many points there are inside this circle of the form (,) where and are both integers. Since the equation of this circle is given in Cartesian coordinates by x 2 + y 2 = r 2 {\displaystyle x^{2}+y^{2}=r^{2}} , the question is equivalently asking how many pairs of integers m and n there are such that

    Technically, anything over 20 years old can be coined “vintage.”But when you truly think of items worth this title, your brain doesn’t go to Beanie Babies.

  9. Director circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Director_circle

    More generally, for any collection of points P i, weights w i, and constant C, one can define a circle as the locus of points X such that (,) =.. The director circle of an ellipse is a special case of this more general construction with two points P 1 and P 2 at the foci of the ellipse, weights w 1 = w 2 = 1, and C equal to the square of the major axis of the ellipse.
