In mathematics, a hidden line is a geometric edge line [1] that is not visible from an observer's view of a shape or object. Cubes with hidden lines: dotted, dashed, and thin lines. Cubes with no hidden lines, and a cube with dotted lines to give 3 dimensional reference
3. Between two groups, may mean that the first one is a proper subgroup of the second one. > (greater-than sign) 1. Strict inequality between two numbers; means and is read as "greater than". 2. Commonly used for denoting any strict order. 3. Between two groups, may mean that the second one is a proper subgroup of the first one. ≤ 1.
definition: is defined as metalanguage:= means "from now on, is defined to be another name for ." This is a statement in the metalanguage, not the object language. The notation may occasionally be seen in physics, meaning the same as :=.
In analytic geometry, an asymptote (/ ˈ æ s ɪ m p t oʊ t /) of a curve is a line such that the distance between the curve and the line approaches zero as one or both of the x or y coordinates tends to infinity. In projective geometry and related contexts, an asymptote of a curve is a line which is tangent to the curve at a point at infinity ...
The dashed lines represent contours of the velocity field (streamlines), showing the motion of the whole field at the same time. (See high resolution version.) Solid blue lines and broken grey lines represent the streamlines. The red arrows show the direction and magnitude of the flow velocity.
In algebraic geometry, a non singular point of an algebraic curve is an inflection point if and only if the intersection number of the tangent line and the curve (at the point of tangency) is greater than 2. The main motivation of this different definition, is that otherwise the set of the inflection points of a curve would not be an algebraic set.
An isoporic line refers to a line of constant annual variation of magnetic declination . [33] An isoclinic line connects points of equal magnetic dip, and an aclinic line is the isoclinic line of magnetic dip zero. An isodynamic line (from δύναμις or dynamis meaning 'power') connects points with the same intensity of magnetic force.
The line that determines the half-planes (ax + by = c) is not included in the solution set when the inequality is strict. A simple procedure to determine which half-plane is in the solution set is to calculate the value of ax + by at a point (x 0, y 0) which is not on the line and observe whether or not the inequality is satisfied.
