Conic in a sentence

Congruent conic sections Two conic sections are congruent if their eccentricities and one other distinct parameter characterizing them are equal.

Conic section Three major types of conic sections.

Conic, who holds an 8.56% joint-venture interest in the Ramu Nickel-Cobalt Operation, does not have any ownership interest in MCC Ramu Nickel and is not named in (and is not a party to) the writ of summons and statement of claim.

According to the definition of a parabola as a conic section, the boundary of this pink cross-section, EPD, is a parabola.

A conic section is the intersection of a cone with equation and a plane.

A parabola is a conic section that is tangent to Ω, and a hyperbola is one that crosses Ω twice.

Arthur Cayley noted that distance between points inside a conic could be defined in terms of logarithm and the projective cross-ratio function.

As L.P. Lee notes, error Lee's objection refers to the way the terms cylindrical, conic, and planar (azimuthal) have been abstracted in the field of map projections.

At most populated latitudes and at most times of the year, this conic section is a hyperbola.

Cauchy's first two manuscripts (on polyhedra ) were accepted; the third one (on directrices of conic sections ) was rejected.

Conic section analysis of the hyperbolic appearance of circles Figure 10: The hyperbola as a circle on the ground seen in perspective while gazing down slightly, showing the circle's (non-parallel) tangents as asymptotes.

Conic section and quadratic form Diagram, description, and definitions Cone with cross-sections (To enlarge, click on diagram.

History Parabolic compass designed by Leonardo da Vinci The earliest known work on conic sections was by Menaechmus in the fourth century BC.

However the principle of conic sections does not depend on the cross section of the cone being circular, and applies without modification to the case of eccentric cones.

In 1971, L. B. Smith published similar algorithms for all conic sections and proved them to have good properties. citation These algorithms need only a few multiplications and additions to calculate each vector.

Isaac Newton demonstrated that Kepler's laws were derivable from his theory of gravitation and that, in general, the orbits of bodies subject to gravity were conic sections (this assumes that the force of gravity propagates instantaneously).

It states that if a hexagon is inscribed in a circle (or conic) then the three intersection points of opposite sides lie on a line (called the Pascal line).

Meaning the casual set of events leading to the present are all valid yet appear as a singular linear time stream within a much broader unseen conic probability field of other outcomes that "split off" from the locally observed timeline.

Propositions 11–31 citation establish properties of motion in paths of eccentric conic-section form including ellipses, and their relation with inverse-square central forces directed to a focus, and include Newton's theorem about ovals (lemma 28).

Such a statite could be geosynchronous in an orbit different (higher, lower, more or less elliptical, or some other path) from the conic section orbit dictated by the laws of gravity.
