In the case of a single parameter, parametric equations are commonly used to express the trajectory of a moving point, in which case, the parameter is often, but not necessarily, time, and the point describes a curve, called a parametric curve. In the case of two parameters, the point describes a surface, called a parametric surface.
The question is whether or not, for all problems for which an algorithm can verify a given solution quickly (that is, in polynomial time), an algorithm can also find that solution quickly. Since the former describes the class of problems termed NP, while the latter describes P, the question is equivalent to asking whether all problems in NP are ...
In mathematics and its applications, a parametric family or a parameterized family is a family of objects (a set of related objects) whose differences depend only on the chosen values for a set of parameters. [1] Common examples are parametrized (families of) functions, probability distributions, curves, shapes, etc. [citation needed]
The fish curve with scale parameter a = 1. A fish curve is an ellipse negative pedal curve that is shaped like a fish.In a fish curve, the pedal point is at the focus for the special case of the squared eccentricity =. [1]
From the above equation, it can thus be stated: position of the particle from point of start is proportional to angle θ as time elapses. Archimedes described such a spiral in his book On Spirals . Conon of Samos was a friend of his and Pappus states that this spiral was discovered by Conon.
Take P to be the origin. For a curve given by the equation F(x, y)=0, if the equation of the tangent line at R=(x 0, y 0) is written in the form + = then the vector (cos α, sin α) is parallel to the segment PX, and the length of PX, which is the distance from the tangent line to the origin, is p.
In calculus, a parametric derivative is a derivative of a dependent variable with respect to another dependent variable that is taken when both variables depend on an independent third variable, usually thought of as "time" (that is, when the dependent variables are x and y and are given by parametric equations in t).
