Chapter 11. Three Dimensional Analytic Geometry and Vectors Chapter 11. Three dimensional analytic geometry and vectors. Section 11.5 Quadric surfaces. Curves in R2 : x2 y2 ellipse + =1 a2 b2 x2 y2 hyperbola − =1 a2 b2 parabola y = ax2 or x = by2 A quadric surface is the graph of a second degree equation in three variables. The most general such equation is Ax2 + By2 + Cz2 + Dxy + Exz + F yz + Gx + Hy + Iz + J =0, where A, B, C, ..., J are constants. By translation and rotation the equation can be brought into one of two standard forms Ax2 + By2 + Cz2 + J =0 or Ax2 + By2 + Iz =0 In order to sketch the graph of a quadric surface, it is useful to determine the curves of intersection of the surface with planes parallel to the coordinate planes. These curves are called traces of the surface. Ellipsoids The quadric surface with equation x2 y2 z2 + + =1 a2 b2 c2 is called an ellipsoid because all of its traces are ellipses. 2 1 x y 3 2 1 z ±1 ±2 ±3 ±1 ±2 The six intercepts of the ellipsoid are (±a, 0, 0), (0, ±b, 0), and (0, 0, ±c) and the ellipsoid lies in the box |x| ≤ a, |y| ≤ b, |z| ≤ c Since the ellipsoid involves only even powers of x, y, and z, the ellipsoid is symmetric with respect to each coordinate plane. Example 1. Find the traces of the surface 4x2 +9y2 + 36z2 = 36 1 in the planes x = k, y = k, and z = k. Identify the surface and sketch it. Hyperboloids Hyperboloid of one sheet. The quadric surface with equations x2 y2 z2 1. + − =1 a2 b2 c2 x2 y2 z2 2. − + =1 a2 b2 c2 x2 y2 z2 3. − + + =1 a2 b2 c2 are called hyperbolids of one sheet since two of its traces are hyperbolas and one is an ellipse, and its surface consists of just one piece. 4 2 ±10 ±10 z ±5 ±5 5 5 y x 10 10 ±2 ±4 Example 2. Find the traces of the surface x2 − y2 + z2 =1 in the planes x = k, y = k, and z = k. Identify the surface and sketch it. 2 Hyperboloid of two sheets. The quadric surface with equations x2 y2 z2 1. − − + =1 a2 b2 c2 x2 y2 z2 2. − + − =1 a2 b2 c2 x2 y2 z2 3. − − =1 a2 b2 c2 are called hyperbolids of two sheets since two of its traces are hyperbolas and one is an ellipse, and its surface is two sheets. 10 5 y 5 10 z ±10 ±5 5 10 x ±5 ±10 Example 3. Find the traces of the surface 9x2 − y2 − z2 =9 in the planes x = k, y = k, and z = k. Identify the surface and sketch it. Cone. The quadric surface with equations z2 x2 y2 1. = + c2 a2 b2 y2 x2 z2 2. = + b2 a2 c2 3 x2 y2 z2 3. = + a2 b2 c2 are called cones. 4 x 2 10 5 y ±5 ±10 5 10 ±2 ±4 If P is any point on the cone, then the line OP lies entirely on the cone. The traces in horizontal planes z = k are ellipses and traces in vertical planes x = k or y = k are hyperbolas if k =6 0 but are pairs of lines if k = 0. Paraboloids. The quadric surface with equations z x2 y2 1. = + c a2 b2 y x2 z2 2. = + b a2 c2 x y2 z2 3. = + a b2 c2 are called elliptic paraboloids because its traces in horizontal planes z = k are ellipses, whereas its in vertical planes x = k or y = k are parabolas. 10 8 6 4 2 20 ±10 ±5 5 x y 10 ±20 Example 4. Find the traces of the surface y = x2 + z2 in the planes x = k, y = k, and z = k. Identify the surface and sketch it. 4 The hyperbolic paraboloid z x2 y2 1. = − c a2 b2 y x2 z2 2. = − b a2 c2 x y2 z2 3. = − a b2 c2 also has parabolas as its vertical traces, but its has hyperbolas as its horizontal traces. ±100 ±50 ±10 ±5 ±10 10 5 x y 10 50 100 Quadric cylinders. When one of the variables is missing from the equation of a surface, x2 y2 then the surface is a cylinder. The equation + = 1 represents the elliptic cylinder, the a2 b2 x2 y2 equation − = 1 represents a hyperbolic cylinder, and the equation y = ax2 represents a2 b2 the hyperbolic cylinder. 4 4 4 2 4 2 2 2 ±4 y ±2 z ±5 ±2 ±3 z z ±2 ±1 ±2 ±4 1 2 x 2 2 3 4 ±4 2 y y x 4 x 5 ±2 ±2 ±2 ±4 ±4 ±4 Example 5.

  • Quadratic Approximation at a Stationary Point Let F(X, Y) Be a Given
    Multivariable Calculus Grinshpan Quadratic approximation at a stationary point Let f(x; y) be a given function and let (x0; y0) be a point in its domain. Under proper differentiability conditions one has f(x; y) = f(x0; y0) + fx(x0; y0)(x − x0) + fy(x0; y0)(y − y0) 1 2 1 2 + 2 fxx(x0; y0)(x − x0) + fxy(x0; y0)(x − x0)(y − y0) + 2 fyy(x0; y0)(y − y0) + higher−order terms: Let (x0; y0) be a stationary (critical) point of f: fx(x0; y0) = fy(x0; y0) = 0. Then 2 2 f(x; y) = f(x0; y0) + A(x − x0) + 2B(x − x0)(y − y0) + C(y − y0) + higher−order terms, 1 1 1 1 where A = 2 fxx(x0; y0);B = 2 fxy(x0; y0) = 2 fyx(x0; y0), and C = 2 fyy(x0; y0). Assume for simplicity that (x0; y0) = (0; 0) and f(0; 0) = 0. [ This can always be achieved by translation: f~(x; y) = f(x0 + x; y0 + y) − f(x0; y0). ] Then f(x; y) = Ax2 + 2Bxy + Cy2 + higher−order terms. Thus, provided A, B, C are not all zero, the graph of f near (0; 0) resembles the quadric surface z = Ax2 + 2Bxy + Cy2: Generically, this quadric surface is either an elliptic or a hyperbolic paraboloid. We distinguish three scenarios: * Elliptic paraboloid opening up, (0; 0) is a point of local minimum. * Elliptic paraboloid opening down, (0; 0) is a point of local maximum. * Hyperbolic paraboloid, (0; 0) is a saddle point. It should certainly be possible to tell which case we are dealing with by looking at the coefficients A, B, and C, and this is the idea behind the Second Partials Test.

  • Pencils of Quadrics
    Europ. J. Combinatorics (1988) 9, 255-270 Intersections in Projective Space II: Pencils of Quadrics A. A. BRUEN AND J. w. P. HIRSCHFELD A complete classification is given of pencils of quadrics in projective space of three dimensions over a finite field, where each pencil contains at least one non-singular quadric and where the base curve is not absolutely irreducible. This leads to interesting configurations in the space such as partitions by elliptic quadrics and by lines. 1. INTRODUCTION A pencil of quadrics in PG(3, q) is non-singular if it contains at least one non-singular quadric. The base of a pencil is a quartic curve and is reducible if over some extension of GF(q) it splits into more than one component: four lines, two lines and a conic, two conics, or a line and a twisted cubic. In order to contain no points or to contain some line over GF(q), the base is necessarily reducible. In the main part of this paper a classification is given of non-singular pencils ofquadrics in L = PG(3, q) with a reducible base. This leads to geometrically interesting configur­ ations obtained from elliptic and hyperbolic quadrics, such as spreads and partitions of L. The remaining part of the paper deals with the case when the base is not reducible and is therefore a rational or elliptic quartic. The number of points in the elliptic case is then governed by the Hasse formula. However, we are able to derive an interesting combi­ natorial relationship, valid also in higher dimensions, between the number of points in the base curve and the number in the base curve of a dual pencil.

  • An Introduction to Topology the Classification Theorem for Surfaces by E
    An Introduction to Topology An Introduction to Topology The Classification theorem for Surfaces By E. C. Zeeman Introduction. The classification theorem is a beautiful example of geometric topology. Although it was discovered in the last century*, yet it manages to convey the spirit of present day research. The proof that we give here is elementary, and its is hoped more intuitive than that found in most textbooks, but in none the less rigorous. It is designed for readers who have never done any topology before. It is the sort of mathematics that could be taught in schools both to foster geometric intuition, and to counteract the present day alarming tendency to drop geometry. It is profound, and yet preserves a sense of fun. In Appendix 1 we explain how a deeper result can be proved if one has available the more sophisticated tools of analytic topology and algebraic topology. Examples. Before starting the theorem let us look at a few examples of surfaces. In any branch of mathematics it is always a good thing to start with examples, because they are the source of our intuition. All the following pictures are of surfaces in 3-dimensions. In example 1 by the word “sphere” we mean just the surface of the sphere, and not the inside. In fact in all the examples we mean just the surface and not the solid inside. 1. Sphere. 2. Torus (or inner tube). 3. Knotted torus. 4. Sphere with knotted torus bored through it. * Zeeman wrote this article in the mid-twentieth century. 1 An Introduction to Topology 5.

The algorithm at the end is unpublished. Feel free to contact me for collaboration. 5.1 John Ellipsoid In the last lecture, we discussed that any convex set is very close to anp ellipsoid in probabilistic sense. More precisely, after renormalization by covariance matrix, we have kxk2 = n ± Θ(1) with high probability. In this lecture, we will talk about how convex set is close to an ellipsoid in a strict sense. If the convex set is isotropic, it is close to a sphere as follows: Theorem 5.1.1. Let K be a convex body in Rn in isotropic position. Then, rn + 1 B ⊆ K ⊆ pn(n + 1)B : n n n Roughly speaking, this says that any convex set can be approximated by an ellipsoid by a n factor. This result has a lot of applications. Although the bound is tight, making a body isotropic is pretty time- consuming. In fact, making a body isotropic is the current bottleneck for obtaining faster algorithm for sampling in convex sets. Currently, it can only be done in O∗(n4) membership oracle plus O∗(n5) total time. Problem 5.1.2. Find a faster algorithm to approximate the covariance matrix of a convex set. In this lecture, we consider another popular position of a convex set called John position and its correspond- ing ellipsoid is called John ellipsoid. Definition 5.1.3. Given a convex set K.

If x and y are given as continuous function x = f(t) y = g(t) over an interval of t-values, then the set of points (x, y)=(f(t),g(t)) defined by these equation is a parametric curve (sometimes called aplane curve). The equations are parametric equations for the curve. Often we think of parametric curves as describing the movement of a particle in a plane over time.

Quadratics 10. Rationals 11. Radicals Simplifying Expressions An expression is a mathematical “phrase.” Expressions contain numbers and variables, but not an equal sign. An equation has an “equal” sign. For example: Expression: Equation: 5 + 3 5 + 3 = 8 x + 3 x + 3 = 8 (x + 4)(x – 2) (x + 4)(x – 2) = 10 x² + 5x + 6 x² + 5x + 6 = 0 x – 8 x – 8 > 3 When we simplify an expression, we work until there are as few terms as possible. This process makes the expression easier to use, (that’s why it’s called “simplify”). The first thing we want to do when simplifying an expression is to combine like terms. For example: There are many terms to look at! Let’s start with x². There Simplify: are no other terms with x² in them, so we move on. 10x x² + 10x – 6 – 5x + 4 and 5x are like terms, so we add their coefficients = x² + 5x – 6 + 4 together. 10 + (-5) = 5, so we write 5x. -6 and 4 are also = x² + 5x – 2 like terms, so we can combine them to get -2. Isn’t the simplified expression much nicer? Now you try: x² + 5x + 3x² + x³ - 5 + 3 [You should get x³ + 4x² + 5x – 2] Order of Operations PEMDAS – Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally, remember that from Algebra class?

Regular spatial objects, such as planes, are frequently used for this task. This paper deals with the automatic detection of ellipses in camera images, as well as to estimate the 3D position of the spheres corresponding to the detected 2D ellipses. We propose two novel methods to (i) detect an ellipse in camera images and (ii) estimate the spatial location of the corresponding sphere if its size is known. The algorithms are tested both quantitatively and qualitatively. They are applied for calibrating the sensor system of autonomous cars equipped with digital cameras, depth sensors and LiDAR devices. 1 INTRODUCTION putation and memory costs.

Those with a weak heart may wish to consult a physician first. What we are about to do is explode an ellipse. This Rrisky business is not often undertaken by the professional mathematician, whose polytechnic endeavors are usually limited to encounters with administrators. Ellipses of the standard form of x2 y2 1 5 1, a2 b2 where a > b, are not suitable for exploding because they just move out of view as they explode. Hence, before the ellipse explodes, we must secure it in the neighborhood of the origin by translating the left vertex to the origin and anchoring the left focus to a point on the x-axis.

  • Writing the Equation of a Line
    Name______________________________ Writing the Equation of a Line When you find the equation of a line it will be because you are trying to draw scientific information from it. In math, you write equations like y = 5x + 2 This equation is useless to us. You will never graph y vs. x. You will be graphing actual data like velocity vs. time. Your equation should therefore be written as v = (5 m/s2) t + 2 m/s. See the difference? You need to use proper variables and units in order to compare it to theory or make actual conclusions about physical principles. The second equation tells me that when the data collection began (t = 0), the velocity of the object was 2 m/s. It also tells me that the velocity was changing at 5 m/s every second (m/s/s = m/s2). Let’s practice this a little, shall we? Force vs. mass F (N) y = 6.4x + 0.3 m (kg) You’ve just done a lab to see how much force was necessary to get a mass moving along a rough surface. Excel spat out the graph above. You labeled each axis with the variable and units (well done!). You titled the graph starting with the variable on the y-axis (nice job!). Now we turn to the equation. First we replace x and y with the variables we actually graphed: F = 6.4m + 0.3 Then we add units to our slope and intercept. The slope is found by dividing the rise by the run so the units will be the units from the y-axis divided by the units from the x-axis.
