  2. Radical axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_axis

    Every circle on the axis that passes through the two foci of the coordinate system intersects the two circles orthogonally. A maximal collection of circles, all having centers on a given line and all pairs having the same radical axis, is known as a pencil of coaxal circles.

  3. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

    As in the two-dimensional case, each axis becomes a number line. For any point P of space, one considers a plane through P perpendicular to each coordinate axis, and interprets the point where that plane cuts the axis as a number. The Cartesian coordinates of P are those three numbers, in the chosen order. The reverse construction determines ...

  4. Carlyle circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlyle_circle

    Carlyle circle of the quadratic equation x 2 − sx + p = 0. Given the quadratic equation x 2 − sx + p = 0. the circle in the coordinate plane having the line segment joining the points A(0, 1) and B(s, p) as a diameter is called the Carlyle circle of the quadratic equation. [1] [2] [3]

  5. Homothetic center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homothetic_center

    These four points lie on a single circle, that intersects both given circles. By definition, the line QS is the radical axis of the new circle with the green given circle, whereas the line P'R' is the radical axis of the new circle with the blue given circle. These two lines intersect at the point G, which is the radical center of the new ...

  6. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    The sum of the squared lengths of any two chords intersecting at right angles at a given point is the same as that of any other two perpendicular chords intersecting at the same point and is given by 8r 2 − 4p 2, where r is the circle radius, and p is the distance from the centre point to the point of intersection. [14]

  7. atan2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atan2

    atan2(y, x) returns the angle θ between the positive x-axis and the ray from the origin to the point (x, y), confined to (−π, π].Graph of ⁡ (,) over /. In computing and mathematics, the function atan2 is the 2-argument arctangent.

  8. Dupin's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dupin's_theorem

    A simple example with at least one pencil of curved surfaces: 1) all right circular cylinders with the z-axis as axis, 2) all planes, which contain the z-axis, 3) all horizontal planes (see diagram). A curvature line is a curve on a surface, which has at any point the direction of a principal curvature (maximal or minimal curvature). The set of ...

  9. List of second moments of area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_second_moments_of_area

    The parallel axis theorem can be used to determine the second moment of area of a rigid body about any axis, given the body's second moment of area about a parallel axis through the body's centroid, the area of the cross section, and the perpendicular distance (d) between the axes. ′ = +
