conchoid (ˈkɒŋkɔɪd) n (Mathematics) geometry a plane curve consisting of two branches situated about a line to which they are asymptotic, so that a line from a fixed point (the pole) intersecting both branches is of constant length between asymptote and either branch. Equation: (x – a)2(x2 + y2) = b2x2 where a is the distance between the pole and a vertical asymptote and b is the length of the constant segmentconchoidenUK
conchoid[′käŋ‚kȯid] (mathematics) A plane curve consisting of the locus of both ends of a line segment of constant length on a line which rotates about a fixed point, while the midpoint of the segment remains on a fixed curve which does not contain the fixed point. |
