Signs of trigonometric functions in each quadrant. In the above graphic, the words in quotation marks are a mnemonic for remembering which three trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent and their reciprocals) are positive in each quadrant. The expression reads "All Science Teachers Crazy" and proceeding counterclockwise from the upper ...
Both the constellation and the shower are named after an instrument called the quadrant, which was once used to measure the altitudes of stars and other bodies in the night sky. (Photo credit ...
In such a 2D diagram of a 3D coordinate system, the z-axis would appear as a line or ray pointing down and to the left or down and to the right, depending on the presumed viewer or camera perspective. In any diagram or display, the orientation of the three axes, as a whole, is arbitrary.
The Nolan Chart in its traditional form. The Nolan Chart is a political spectrum diagram created by American libertarian activist David Nolan in 1969, charting political views along two axes, representing economic freedom and personal freedom.
A quadratrix in the first quadrant (x, y) is a curve with y = ρ sin θ equal to the fraction of the quarter circle with radius r determined by the radius through the curve point. Since this fraction is 2 r θ π {\displaystyle {\frac {2r\theta }{\pi }}} , the curve is given by ρ ( θ ) = 2 r θ π sin θ {\displaystyle \rho (\theta ...
Gaspard Monge's four quadrants and two planes. Modern orthographic projection is derived from Gaspard Monge's descriptive geometry. [4] Monge defined a reference system of two viewing planes, horizontal H ("ground") and vertical V ("backdrop"). These two planes intersect to partition 3D space into 4 quadrants, which he labeled: I: above H, in ...
The Quadrantids, the first meteor shower of the New Year, has the potential to be one of the year's best – if the weather cooperates.
The most well-known class of spacetime diagrams are known as Minkowski diagrams, developed by Hermann Minkowski in 1908. Minkowski diagrams are two-dimensional graphs that depict events as happening in a universe consisting of one space dimension and one time dimension. Unlike a regular distance-time graph, the distance is displayed on the ...
