  2. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    The equation of the circle determined by three points (,), (,), (,) not on a line is obtained by a conversion of the 3-point form of a circle equation: () + () () () = () + () () (). Homogeneous form In homogeneous coordinates , each conic section with the equation of a circle has the form x 2 + y 2 − 2 a x z − 2 b y z + c z 2 = 0 ...

  3. Conic section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conic_section

    Define b by the equations c 2 = a 2 − b 2 for an ellipse and c 2 = a 2 + b 2 for a hyperbola. For a circle, c = 0 so a 2 = b 2, with radius r = a = b. For the parabola, the standard form has the focus on the x-axis at the point (a, 0) and the directrix the line with equation x = −a. In standard form the parabola will always pass through the ...

  4. Eccentricity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The linear eccentricity of an ellipse or hyperbola, denoted c (or sometimes f or e), is the distance between its center and either of its two foci. The eccentricity can be defined as the ratio of the linear eccentricity to the semimajor axis a : that is, e = c a {\displaystyle e={\frac {c}{a}}} (lacking a center, the linear eccentricity for ...

  5. Matrix representation of conic sections - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_representation_of...

    An alternative approach that uses the matrix form of the quadratic equation is based on the fact that when the center is the origin of the coordinate system, there are no linear terms in the equation. Any translation to a coordinate origin (x 0, y 0), using x* = x – x 0, y* = y − y 0 gives rise to

  6. Generalised circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalised_circle

    A circle is the set of points in a plane that lie at radius from a center point . (,) = {:}In the complex plane, is a complex number and is a set of complex numbers. Using the property that a complex number multiplied by its conjugate is the square of its modulus (its Euclidean distance from the origin), an implicit equation for is:

    where C is the circumference of a circle, d is the diameter, and r is the radius. More generally, = where L and w are, respectively, the perimeter and the width of any curve of constant width. = where A is the area of a circle. More generally, =

  8. Intersection (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_(geometry)

    Determination of the intersection of flats – linear geometric objects embedded in a higher-dimensional space – is a simple task of linear algebra, namely the solution of a system of linear equations. In general the determination of an intersection leads to non-linear equations, which can be solved numerically, for example using Newton ...
