  2. Parabola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola

    The point E is an arbitrary point on the parabola. The focus is F, the vertex is A (the origin), and the line FA is the axis of symmetry. The line EC is parallel to the axis of symmetry, intersects the x axis at D and intersects the directrix at C. The point B is the midpoint of the line segment FC.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_in_mathematics

    Geometrically, the graph of an odd function has rotational symmetry with respect to the origin, meaning that its graph remains unchanged after rotation of 180 degrees about the origin. Examples of odd functions are x, x 3, sin(x), sinh(x), and erf(x).

  4. Truncus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The constant c translates the graph vertically up c units when c > 0 or down when c < 0. The asymptotes of a truncus are found at x = -b (for the vertical asymptote) and y = c (for the horizontal asymptote). This function is more commonly known as a reciprocal squared function, particularly the basic example /. [1]

  5. Curve sketching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_sketching

    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. Similarly, if the exponent of y is always even in the equation of the curve then the x-axis is an axis of symmetry for the curve.

  6. Symmetry (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    For example. a square has four axes of symmetry, because there are four different ways to fold it and have the edges match each other. Another example would be that of a circle, which has infinitely many axes of symmetry passing through its center for the same reason. [10] If the letter T is reflected along a vertical axis, it appears the same.

  7. Axial symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_symmetry

    Axial symmetry is symmetry around an axis; an object is axially symmetric if its appearance is unchanged if rotated around an axis. [1] For example, a baseball bat without trademark or other design, or a plain white tea saucer , looks the same if it is rotated by any angle about the line passing lengthwise through its center, so it is axially ...

  8. Paraboloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraboloid

    The dimensions of a symmetrical paraboloidal dish are related by the equation =, where F is the focal length, D is the depth of the dish (measured along the axis of symmetry from the vertex to the plane of the rim), and R is the radius of the rim. They must all be in the same unit of length. If two of these three lengths are known, this ...
