  1. What is the difference between equation and formula?

    An equation is any expression with an equals sign, so your example is by definition an equation. Equations appear frequently in mathematics because mathematicians love to use equal signs. A …

  2. Finding the angle of rotation of an ellipse from its general equation ...

    The general equation for an ellipse is $Ax^2+Bxy+Cy^2+D=0$. How do I find the angle of rotation, the dimensions, and the coordinates of the center of the ellipse from the general equation and vice versa?

  3. when to use which z score equation? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    6 in some exam past papers I have been doing I have come across the statistics equation z= (sample mean - mean)/standard deviation as well as the equation z = (sample mean - mean)/ (standard …

  4. Ellipse in polar coordinates - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    If instead we center at the right focus and follow the same steps, we obtain $$ r=\frac {a (1-\epsilon^2)} {1+\epsilon\cos\theta} $$ This geometric approach also extends naturally to hyperbolas and …

  5. What is the difference between an identity, an equation and a ...

    Equation means equality. They are both related to the word equal. If such an equality is true for all values of the variable, it is called an identity, e.g., sin2x+cos2x= 1 sin 2 x + cos 2 x = 1 is true for all …

  6. Polar equation of a circle - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Welcome to MSE. For some basic information about writing mathematics at this site see, e.g., basic help on mathjax notation, mathjax tutorial and quick reference, main meta site math tutorial and equation …

  7. equation of a circle given 2 points - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    A circle has to points on the circumference (0, 1) and (0, 9) that bisect the circle and I have to give the equation of the circle in general form. So I can find the midpoint of the circle as ${(0...

  8. simple geometry question- equation of cylinder

    Jul 23, 2014 · The equation of an object is a way of telling whether a point is part of an object -- if you substitute the coordinates of the point into the equation and the equation is true, then the point is on …

  9. Is there any equation for triangle? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    There is no standard equation for a triangle, like there is for a circle, parabola or ellipse. The reason is that the circle for example has a clear classic geometric definition: A locus of points.

  10. What is the equation used to calculate a linear trendline?

    What are the equations to calculate a linear trendline over a set of points? EDIT: "In excel it is done automatically but how to manually calculate a linear trendline over a set of points" was orig...
