In geometry, a limaçon trisectrix (called simply a trisectrix by some authors) is a member of the Limaçon family of curves which has the trisectrix, or angle trisection, property. It can be defined as locus of the point of intersection of two lines, each rotating at a uniform rate about separate points, so that the ratio of the rates of rotation is 2:3 and the lines initially coincide with the line between the two points. Thus, it is an example of a sectrix of Maclaurin. ==Equations== If the first line is rotating about the origin, forming angle θ with the ''x''-axis, and the second line is rotating about the point (''a'', 0) with angle 3θ/2, then the angle between them is θ/2 and the law of sines can be used to determine the distance from the point of intersection to the origin as :. This is the equation with polar coordinates, showing that the curve is a Limaçon. The curve crosses itself at the origin, the rightmost point of the outer loop is at (3''a'', 0) and the tip of the inner loop is at (''a'', 0). If the curve is shifted so that the origin is at the tip of the inner loop then the equation becomes : so it is also in the rose family of curves. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Limaçon trisectrix」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
