The parametric equations for a catenary are x = t (1) y = acosh(t/a), (2) giving the evolute as x = t-a/2sinh((2t)/a) (3) y = 2acosh(t/(2a)). (4) For t>0, the evolute has arc ...

The parametric equations for a catenary are x = t (1) y = cosht, (2) giving the involute as x_i = t-tanht (3) y_i = secht. (4) The involute is therefore half of a tractrix.

The radial curve of the catenary x = t (1) y = cosht (2) with radiant point (x_0,y_0) is given by x_r = x_0-coshtsinht (3) y_r = y_0+cosht. (4)

The evolute of Cayley's sextic with parametrization x = 4acos^3(1/3theta)cost (1) y = 4acos^3(1/3theta)sint (2) is given by x_e = 1/4[2+3cos(2/3t)-cos(2t)] (3) y_e = ...

An ellipse or hyperbola.

Suppose P=p:q:r and U=u:v:w are points, neither lying on a sideline of DeltaABC. Then the cevapoint of P and U is the point (pv+qu)(pw+ru):(qw+rv)(qu+pv) :(ru+pw)(rv+qw).

A sequence of circles which closes (such as a Steiner chain or the circles inscribed in the arbelos) is called a chain.

Taking the locus of midpoints from a fixed point to a circle of radius r results in a circle of radius r/2. This follows trivially from r(theta) = [-x; 0]+1/2([rcostheta; ...

In Homogeneous coordinates (x_1,x_2,x_3), the equation of a circle C is a(x_1^2+x_2^2)+2fx_2x_3+2gx_1x_3+cx_3^2=0. The discriminant of this circle is defined as Delta=|a 0 g; ...

The inverse curve of the circle with parametric equations x = acost (1) y = asint (2) with respect to an inversion circle with center (x,y) and radius R is given by x_i = ...
