The answer to two down in the Nov. 11 New York Times Mini Crossword is “XAXIS.” A typical two-dimensional graph has two axes: the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical). The x-axis runs ...

Sketch the graph of the ellipse \(\ds \frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{16}=1\) and determine its foci. Let \(C\) be the conic which consists of all points \(P=(x,y)\) such ...

Express the polar equation \(r=\cos 2\theta\) in rectangular coordinates. Find the maximum height above the \(x\)-axis of the cardioid \(r=1+\cos \theta\text{.}\) Sketch the graph of the curve whose ...

The straight line through two points will have an equation in the form \(y = mx + c\). We can find the value of \(m\), the gradient of the line, by forming a right-angled triangle using the ...
