  2. Semicircle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicircle

    For a semicircle with a diameter of a + b, the length of its radius is the arithmetic mean of a and b (since the radius is half of the diameter). The geometric mean can be found by dividing the diameter into two segments of lengths a and b, and then connecting their common endpoint to the semicircle with a segment perpendicular to the diameter ...

  3. Wigner semicircle distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wigner_semicircle_distribution

    The Wigner distribution coincides with a scaled and shifted beta distribution: if Y is a beta-distributed random variable with parameters α = β = 3 ⁄ 2, then the random variable 2RY – R exhibits a Wigner semicircle distribution with radius R. By this transformation it is straightforward to directly compute some statistical quantities for ...

    The second expression is for a polar graph = ... This equation is a definition of . If the arc is a semicircle, then =. For an arbitrary circular arc: ...

  5. Tangent lines to circles - Wikipedia

    If = + is the distance from c 1 to c 2 we can normalize by =, =, = to simplify equation (1), resulting in the following system of equations: + =, + =; solve these to get two solutions (k = ±1) for the two external tangent lines: = = + = (+) Geometrically this corresponds to computing the angle formed by the tangent lines and the line of ...

  6. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    The equation can be written in parametric form using the trigonometric functions sine and cosine as = + ⁡, = + ⁡, where t is a parametric variable in the range 0 to 2 π, interpreted geometrically as the angle that the ray from (a, b) to (x, y) makes with the positive x axis.

  7. Semicircular potential well - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicircular_potential_well

    The moment of inertia for a semicircle, best expressed in cylindrical coordinates, is = (,,). Solving the integral, one finds that the moment of inertia of a semicircle is I = m s 2 {\displaystyle I=ms^{2}} , exactly the same for a hoop of the same radius.

  8. Hypocycloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocycloid

    The red path is a hypocycloid traced as the smaller black circle rolls around inside the larger black circle (parameters are R=4.0, r=1.0, and so k=4, giving an astroid).

  9. Semicubical parabola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicubical_parabola

    In mathematics, a cuspidal cubic or semicubical parabola is an algebraic plane curve that has an implicit equation of the form y 2 − a 2 x 3 = 0 {\displaystyle y^{2}-a^{2}x^{3}=0} (with a ≠ 0 ) in some Cartesian coordinate system .
