The equations of the three circles are $(x - x_1)^2 + (y - y_1)^2 = r_1^2 \hspace{30pt}(1)$ $(x - x_2)^2 + (y - y_2)^2 = r_2^2 \hspace{30pt}(2)$ $(x - x_3)^2 + (y - y_3)^2 = r_3^2 \hspace{30pt}(3)$...

Since the two ellipsoid share the same center, then we can take this center to be the origin of the coordinate system, and then the equations of the two ellipsoids will be $r^T Q_1 r = 1$ and $r^T ...

The equation of a circular cone is determined by two things: It's axis represented by the unit vector $\mathbf{a}$, and the semi-vertical angle which is the angle $\theta$ ​between the axis and the ...

From Cauchy-Schwartz inequality, $a^2 + b^2 = (a^2 + b^2) ( \dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{1}{2} ) \ge (\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} a + \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} b )^2 = \dfrac{1}{2} (a + b)^2$ Hence $(a + b)^2 \le 2 (a^2 + ...

The equation of the line is $P(t) = P_0 + t v$ $OP(t) \times v = ((P_0 - O) + t v ) \times v = (P_0 - O) \times v + t (v \times v) = (P_0 - O) \times v$ Thus the cross product is independent of $t$....

Since point $D$ will be on $AC$, then there exists a scalar $t \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $D = A + t (C - A) \hspace{20pt}(1)$ The vector $(C-A)$ is the direction vector of the ray $AC$. Now we want ...

First find the intersection of the line $y = x$ with the circle. Plug in $y = x$ you get $(x - 3)^2 + ( x - 4)^2 = 4$ This simplifies to, $2 x^2 - 14 x + 21 = 0$ By factoring, this becomes, $2 (...
