  2. Semicircle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicircle

    PR is the diameter of a circle centered on O; its radius AO is the arithmetic mean of a and b. Using the geometric mean theorem, triangle PGR's altitude GQ is the geometric mean. For any ratio a:b, AO ≥ GQ. A semicircle can be used to construct the arithmetic and geometric means of two lengths using straight-edge and compass.

  3. Arc diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_diagram

    An arc diagram is a style of graph drawing, in which the vertices of a graph are placed along a line in the Euclidean plane, with edges being drawn as semicircles in one or both of the two halfplanes bounded by the line, or as smooth curves formed by sequences of semicircles. In some cases, line segments of the line itself are also allowed as ...

  4. Hall circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_circles

    The M circle with M = 0.45 is highlighted in red and intercepts the Nyquist plot at frequencies . Hall circles (also known as M-circles and N-circles ) are a graphical tool in control theory used to obtain values of a closed-loop transfer function from the Nyquist plot (or the Nichols plot ) of the associated open-loop transfer function.

  5. Locus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Each curve in this example is a locus defined as the conchoid of the point P and the line l.In this example, P is 8 cm from l. In geometry, a locus (plural: loci) (Latin word for "place", "location") is a set of all points (commonly, a line, a line segment, a curve or a surface), whose location satisfies or is determined by one or more specified conditions.

  6. Graph of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_of_a_function

    Given a function: from a set X (the domain) to a set Y (the codomain), the graph of the function is the set [4] = {(, ()):}, which is a subset of the Cartesian product.In the definition of a function in terms of set theory, it is common to identify a function with its graph, although, formally, a function is formed by the triple consisting of its domain, its codomain and its graph.

  7. Limaçon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limaçon

    Construction of the limaçon r = 2 + cos(π – θ) with polar coordinates' origin at (x, y) = (⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, 0). In geometry, a limaçon or limacon / ˈ l ɪ m ə s ɒ n /, also known as a limaçon of Pascal or Pascal's Snail, is defined as a roulette curve formed by the path of a point fixed to a circle when that circle rolls around the outside of a circle of equal radius.

  8. Curve sketching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_sketching

    Similarly, the y intercepts are found by setting x equal to 0 in the equation of the curve and solving for y. Determine the symmetry of the curve. If the exponent of x is always even in the equation of the curve then the y-axis is an axis of symmetry for the curve.

  9. Epicycloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicycloid

    The red curve is an epicycloid traced as the small circle (radius r = 1) rolls around the outside of the large circle (radius R = 3).. In geometry, an epicycloid (also called hypercycloid) [1] is a plane curve produced by tracing the path of a chosen point on the circumference of a circle—called an epicycle—which rolls without slipping around a fixed circle.
