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.
The inner loop is defined when + on the polar angle interval / /, and is symmetric about the polar axis. The point furthest from the pole on the inner loop has the coordinates ( a , 0 ) {\displaystyle (a,0)} , and on the polar axis, is one-third of the distance from the pole compared to the furthest point of the outer loop.
The epitrochoid with R = 3, r = 1 and d = 1/2. In geometry, an epitrochoid (/ ɛ p ɪ ˈ t r ɒ k ɔɪ d / or / ɛ p ɪ ˈ t r oʊ k ɔɪ d /) is a roulette traced by a point attached to a circle of radius r rolling around the outside of a fixed circle of radius R, where the point is at a distance d from the center of the exterior circle.
In geometry, a trisectrix is a curve which can be used to trisect an arbitrary angle with ruler and compass and this curve as an additional tool. Such a method falls outside those allowed by compass and straightedge constructions, so they do not contradict the well known theorem which states that an arbitrary angle cannot be trisected with that type of construction.
Inner portion of the strophoid curve, traced by P 1 as L rotates Outer portion of the strophoid curve, traced by P 2 as L rotates In geometry , a strophoid is a curve generated from a given curve C and points A (the fixed point ) and O (the pole ) as follows: Let L be a variable line passing through O and intersecting C at K .
Graphs of roses are composed of petals.A petal is the shape formed by the graph of a half-cycle of the sinusoid that specifies the rose. (A cycle is a portion of a sinusoid that is one period T = 2π / k long and consists of a positive half-cycle, the continuous set of points where r ≥ 0 and is T / 2 = π / k long, and a negative half-cycle is the other half where r ...
Archimedean spiral represented on a polar graph The Archimedean spiral has the property that any ray from the origin intersects successive turnings of the spiral in points with a constant separation distance (equal to 2 πb if θ is measured in radians ), hence the name "arithmetic spiral".
