Example 1 Find the points of intersection of the line y = 4 and the circle x22+ y −4 x − 6 y + 8 = 0 Solution: Sub y = 4 into equation for circle: x22+ y −4 x − 6 y + 8 = 0 xx22+(4) − 4 − 6(4) + 8 = 0 xx2 +16 − 4 − 24 + 8 = 0 2 Look to factorise: xx−=40 xx(−= 4) 0 x = 0 or x = 4 Points of contact are: (0, 4) and (4, 4) Example 2 Find where the line y = 2x + 6 meets the circle x2 + y2 + 10x – 2y + 1 = 0 . Solution: 22 Sub y = 2x + 6 into equation for circle: x+ y +10 x − 2 y + 1 = 0 x22+(2 x + 6) + 10 x − 2(2 x + 6) + 1 = 0 x22+4 x + 24 x + 36 + 10 x − 4 x − 12 + 1 = 0 2 Look to factorise: Common factor of 5 5xx+ 30 + 25 = 0 xx2 +6 + 5 = 0 (xx+ 5)( + 1) = 0 x = -5 or x = -1 Example 2 Find where the line y = 2x + 6 meets the circle x2 + y2 + 10x – 2y + 1 = 0 . Solution: Find y coord by subbing these values into x = -5 or x = -1 equation for straight line y =2( − 5) + 6 y =2( − 1) + 6 y =−4 y = 4 Points of contact are: (-5, -4) and (-1, 4) Example 3 TANGENCY NAB Prove that the line 2x + y = 19 is a tangent to the circle x2 + y2 - 6x + 4y - 32 = 0 , and also find the point of contact. Solution: NB. Tangency means that there is only one point of contact between line and circle so we are aiming at a quadratic with one (repeated) root and so b2 – 4ac = 0 Must have y = or x = yx=−19 2 Sub y = 19 - 2x into x22+(19 − 2 x ) − 6 x + 4(19 − 2 x ) − 32 = 0 equation for circle: x22+(361 − 76 x + 4 x ) − 6 x + 76 − 8 x − 32 = 0 5xx2 − 90 + 405 = 0 Example 3 TANGENCY NAB Prove that the line 2x + y = 19 is a tangent to the circle x2 + y2 - 6x + 4y - 32 = 0 , and also find the point of contact. Solution: Look to factorise: Common factor of 5 5xx2 − 90 + 405 = 0 xx2 −18 + 81 = 0 Example 3 TANGENCY NAB Prove that the line 2x + y = 19 is a tangent to the circle x2 + y2 - 6x + 4y - 32 = 0 , and also find the point of contact. Solution: Method 1 (use if need to find POC) xx2 −18 + 81 = 0 (xx− 9)( − 9) = 0 Find y coord by subbing this value into x = 9 (repeated) equation for straight line y = 19 - 2(9) y = 1 There is only one point of contact at (9, 1) and so the line is a tangent to the circle. Example 3 TANGENCY NAB Prove that the line 2x + y = 19 is a tangent to the circle x2 + y2 - 6x + 4y - 32 = 0 , and also find the point of contact.

  • Some Intersection Theorems for Ordered Sets and Graphs
    IOURNAL OF COMBINATORIAL THEORY, Series A 43, 23-37 (1986) Some Intersection Theorems for Ordered Sets and Graphs F. R. K. CHUNG* AND R. L. GRAHAM AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey 07974 and *Bell Communications Research, Morristown, New Jersey P. FRANKL C.N.R.S., Paris, France AND J. B. SHEARER' Universify of California, Berkeley, California Communicated by the Managing Editors Received May 22, 1984 A classical topic in combinatorics is the study of problems of the following type: What are the maximum families F of subsets of a finite set with the property that the intersection of any two sets in the family satisfies some specified condition? Typical restrictions on the intersections F n F of any F and F’ in F are: (i) FnF’# 0, where all FEF have k elements (Erdos, Ko, and Rado (1961)). (ii) IFn F’I > j (Katona (1964)). In this paper, we consider the following general question: For a given family B of subsets of [n] = { 1, 2,..., n}, what is the largest family F of subsets of [n] satsifying F,F’EF-FnFzB for some BE B. Of particular interest are those B for which the maximum families consist of so- called “kernel systems,” i.e., the family of all supersets of some fixed set in B. For example, we show that the set of all (cyclic) translates of a block of consecutive integers in [n] is such a family. It turns out rather unexpectedly that many of the results we obtain here depend strongly on properties of the well-known entropy function (from information theory).

  • Intersection of Convex Objects in Two and Three Dimensions
    Intersection of Convex Objects in Two and Three Dimensions B. CHAZELLE Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut AND D. P. DOBKIN Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey Abstract. One of the basic geometric operations involves determining whether a pair of convex objects intersect. This problem is well understood in a model of computation in which the objects are given as input and their intersection is returned as output. For many applications, however, it may be assumed that the objects already exist within the computer and that the only output desired is a single piece of data giving a common point if the objects intersect or reporting no intersection if they are disjoint. For this problem, none of the previous lower bounds are valid and algorithms are proposed requiring sublinear time for their solution in two and three dimensions. Categories and Subject Descriptors: E.l [Data]: Data Structures; F.2.2 [Analysis of Algorithms]: Nonnumerical Algorithms and Problems General Terms: Algorithms, Theory, Verification Additional Key Words and Phrases: Convex sets, Fibonacci search, Intersection 1. Introduction This paper describes fast algorithms for testing the predicate, Do convex objects P and Q intersect? where an object is taken to be a line or a polygon in two dimensions or a plane or a polyhedron in three dimensions. The related problem Given convex objects P and Q, compute their intersection has been well studied, resulting in linear lower bounds and linear or quasi-linear upper bounds [2, 4, 11, 15-171. Lower bounds for this problem use arguments This research was supported in part by the National Science Foundation under grants MCS 79-03428, MCS 81-14207, MCS 83-03925, and MCS 83-03926, and by the Defense Advanced Project Agency under contract F33615-78-C-1551, monitored by the Air Force Offtce of Scientific Research.

  • Complex Intersection Bodies
    COMPLEX INTERSECTION BODIES A. KOLDOBSKY, G. PAOURIS, AND M. ZYMONOPOULOU Abstract. We introduce complex intersection bodies and show that their properties and applications are similar to those of their real counterparts. In particular, we generalize Busemann's the- orem to the complex case by proving that complex intersection bodies of symmetric complex convex bodies are also convex. Other results include stability in the complex Busemann-Petty problem for arbitrary measures and the corresponding hyperplane inequal- ity for measures of complex intersection bodies. 1. Introduction The concept of an intersection body was introduced by Lutwak [37], as part of his dual Brunn-Minkowski theory. In particular, these bodies played an important role in the solution of the Busemann-Petty prob- lem. Many results on intersection bodies have appeared in recent years (see [10, 22, 34] and references there), but almost all of them apply to the real case. The goal of this paper is to extend the concept of an intersection body to the complex case. Let K and L be origin symmetric star bodies in Rn: Following [37], we say that K is the intersection body of L if the radius of K in every direction is equal to the volume of the central hyperplane section of L perpendicular to this direction, i.e. for every ξ 2 Sn−1; −1 ? kξkK = jL \ ξ j; (1) ? n where kxkK = minfa ≥ 0 : x 2 aKg, ξ = fx 2 R :(x; ξ) = 0g; and j · j stands for volume. By a theorem of Busemann [8] the intersection body of an origin symmetric convex body is also convex.

  • Points, Lines, and Planes a Point Is a Position in Space. a Point Has No Length Or Width Or Thickness
    Points, Lines, and Planes A Point is a position in space. A point has no length or width or thickness. A point in geometry is represented by a dot. To name a point, we usually use a (capital) letter. A A (straight) line has length but no width or thickness. A line is understood to extend indefinitely to both sides. It does not have a beginning or end. A B C D A line consists of infinitely many points. The four points A, B, C, D are all on the same line. Postulate: Two points determine a line. We name a line by using any two points on the line, so the above line can be named as any of the following: ! ! ! ! ! AB BC AC AD CD Any three or more points that are on the same line are called colinear points. In the above, points A; B; C; D are all colinear. A Ray is part of a line that has a beginning point, and extends indefinitely to one direction. A B C D A ray is named by using its beginning point with another point it contains. −! −! −−! −−! In the above, ray AB is the same ray as AC or AD. But ray BD is not the same −−! ray as AD. A (line) segment is a finite part of a line between two points, called its end points. A segment has a finite length. A B C D B C In the above, segment AD is not the same as segment BC Segment Addition Postulate: In a line segment, if points A; B; C are colinear and point B is between point A and point C, then AB + BC = AC You may look at the plus sign, +, as adding the length of the segments as numbers.

  • On Geometric Intersection of Curves in Surfaces
    GEOMETRIC INTERSECTION OF CURVES ON SURFACES DYLAN P. THURSTON This is a pre-preprint. Please give comments! Abstract. In order to better understand the geometric inter- section number of curves, we introduce a new tool, the smooth- ing lemma. This lets us write the geometric intersection number i(X, A), where X is a simple curve and A is any curve, canonically as a maximum of various i(X, A′), where the A′ are also simple and independent of X. We use this to get a new derivation of the change of Dehn- Thurston coordinates under an elementary move on the pair of pants decomposition. Contents 1. Introduction 2 1.1. Acknowledgements 3 2.

Introduction In 1922, Dehn [2] introduced what he called the arithmetic field of a surface, by which he meant coordinates for the space of simple curves on a surface, together with a description for how to perform a change of coordinates. In particular, this gives the action of the mapping class group of the surface. He presumably chose the name “arithmetic field” because in the simplest non-trivial cases, namely the torus, the once- punctured torus, and the 4-punctured sphere, the result is equivalent to continued fractions and Euler’s method for finding the greatest common divisor.

Continuing Education and Development, Inc. 22 Stonewall Court Woodcliff Lake, NJ 07677 P: (877) 322-5800 [email protected] Intersection Geometric Design INTRODUCTION This course summarizes and highlights the geometric design process for modern roadway intersections. The contents of this document are intended to serve as guidance and not as an absolute standard or rule. When you complete this course, you should be familiar with the general guidelines for at-grade intersection design. The course objective is to give engineers and designers an in-depth look at the principles to be considered when selecting and designing intersections. Subjects include: 1. General design considerations – function, objectives, capacity 2. Alignment and profile 3. Sight distance – sight triangles, skew 4. Turning roadways – channelization, islands, superelevation 5. Auxiliary lanes 6. Median openings – control radii, lengths, skew 7. Left turns and U-turns 8. Roundabouts 9. Miscellaneous considerations – pedestrians, traffic control, frontage roads 10. Railroad crossings – alignments, sight distance For this course, Chapter 9 of A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets (also known as the “Green Book”) published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) will be used primarily for fundamental geometric design principles. This text is considered to be the primary guidance for U.S. roadway geometric design. Copyright 2015 Gregory J. Taylor, P.E. Page 2 of 56 Intersection Geometric Design This document is intended to explain some principles of good roadway design and show the potential trade-offs that the designer may have to face in a variety of situations, including cost of construction, maintenance requirements, compatibility with adjacent land uses, operational and safety impacts, environmental sensitivity, and compatibility with infrastructure needs.
