  2. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    This equation, known as the equation of the circle, ... ⁠ plane can be broken into two semicircles each of which is the graph of a function, ...

  3. Unit circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_circle

    Since C = 2πr, the circumference of a unit circle is 2π. In mathematics, a unit circle is a circle of unit radius—that is, a radius of 1. [1] Frequently, especially in trigonometry, the unit circle is the circle of radius 1 centered at the origin (0, 0) in the Cartesian coordinate system in the Euclidean plane.

  4. Parametric equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_equation

    For example, the equations = ⁡ = ⁡ form a parametric representation of the unit circle, where t is the parameter: A point (x, y) is on the unit circle if and only if there is a value of t such that these two equations generate that point.

  5. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

    Cartesian coordinate system with a circle of radius 2 centered at the origin marked in red. The equation of a circle is (x − a) 2 + (y − b) 2 = r 2 where a and b are the coordinates of the center (a, b) and r is the radius.

  6. Implicit curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_curve

    In mathematics, an implicit curve is a plane curve defined by an implicit equation relating two coordinate variables, commonly x and y. For example, the unit circle is defined by the implicit equation + =. In general, every implicit curve is defined by an equation of the form (,) =

  7. Conic section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conic_section

    As above, for e = 0, the graph is a circle, for 0 < e < 1 the graph is an ellipse, for e = 1 a parabola, and for e > 1 a hyperbola. The polar form of the equation of a conic is often used in dynamics; for instance, determining the orbits of objects revolving about the Sun. [20]

  8. Mohr's circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohr's_circle

    Eliminating the parameter from these parametric equations will yield the non-parametric equation of the Mohr circle. This can be achieved by rearranging the equations for σ n {\displaystyle \sigma _{\mathrm {n} }} and τ n {\displaystyle \tau _{\mathrm {n} }} , first transposing the first term in the first equation and squaring both sides of ...

  9. Descartes' theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descartes'_theorem

    Kissing circles. Given three mutually tangent circles (black), there are, in general, two possible answers (red) as to what radius a fourth tangent circle can have.In geometry, Descartes' theorem states that for every four kissing, or mutually tangent, circles, the radii of the circles satisfy a certain quadratic equation.
