What else can I help you with?
When the Cartesian coordinate system is used to describe three-dimensional space one needs three axes. These axes are typically called the and axes.?
x, y and z axes.
The Cartesian coordinate system can be used to describe three-dimensional space using three axes instead of two. What are their labels?
x y and z
How do you describe the relationship between a y axis and an x axis?
If its a Cartesian co-ordinate system then the two axis are orthogonal.
Can three dimensional figures can be located on a Cartesian coordinate system?
Yes. All you need is three mutually perpendicular axes (instead of two). To visualise this, look at the corner of a room. There will be three lines coming together at the corner: floor and one wall, floor and another wall, and the two walls. These three lines would act as your axes to describe the 3-d space of the room. The axes are usually labelled x, y and z. Mathematicians (and physicists) have no problem in dealing with coordinate systems in 4 or more dimensions.
What is a point on a coordinate grid called?
The idea of graphing with coordinate axes dates all the way back to Apollonius in the second century B.C. Rene Descartes, who lived in the 1600s, gets the credit for coming up with the two-axis system we use today. The story goes that he lay in bed and watched flies crawling over tiles on the ceiling. He realized that he could describe a fly's position using the intersecting lines of the tiles. The system is often called the "Cartesian coordinate system" in his honor. When working with equations that have two variables, the coordinate plane is an important tool. It's a way to draw pictures of equations that makes them easier to understand. To create a coordinate plane, start with a sheet of graph or grid paper. Next, draw a horizontal line. This line is called the x-axis and is used to locate values of x. To show that the axis actually goes on forever in both directions, use small arrowheads at each end of the line. Mark off a number line with zero in the center, positive numbers to the right, and negative numbers to the left.
The Cartesian coordinate system can be used to describe threedimensional space Instead of two axes the coordinate system has three What are their labels?
Hey, With 2 axes its x and y with 3 its x,y and z Toby
What is the starting point used to describe the position of an object?
The starting point used to describe the position of an object is typically referred to as the origin. This is where the coordinates (x, y, z) are measured from in the Cartesian coordinate system.
When the Cartesian coordinate system is used to describe three-dimensional space one needs three axes. These axes are typically called the and axes.?
x, y and z axes.
How did Rene descartes invent the cartesian coordinate plane?
There is an urban myth that Descartes invented the Cartesian plane by watching a fly on the ceiling and then trying to describe its movements based on its distance from the walls.
The Cartesian coordinate system can be used to describe three-dimensional space using three axes instead of two. What are their labels?
x y and z
Name the scientist who worked in the field of establishing the cartesian co-ordinates?
René Descartes, a French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist, is credited with developing the Cartesian coordinate system, which provided a way to describe the position of any point in space using numerical coordinates.
What type of plane is used to describe the position of a point?
The Cartesian plane
Where did René Descartes get the idea of the Cartesian coordinate system?
It is claimed thaht he got his inspiration while in bed - and watching a fly (or some bug) on the ceiling. He worked out that he could describe the bug's position on the ceiling using coordinates. And the rest, as they say, is history.
How many coordinate systems are there in Physics?
In physics, there are mainly two types of coordinate systems used: Cartesian coordinate system and spherical coordinate system. The choice of coordinate system depends on the nature of the problem being solved and the symmetry of the system. Other coordinate systems, such as cylindrical and polar, can also be used for specific applications.
What is the name of a starting point used to describe the position of an object?
The name of the starting point used to describe the position of an object is known as the origin. It is typically chosen as a reference point to measure distances and locations in a coordinate system.
What does it mean to describe a plot on a coordinate plane?
It means to put the coordinates you were given on the coordinate plane. Ex. (-3,2) you find it the on the coordinate plane and then you plot it or graph it
One of the numbers that describe the position of a point on a plane?
coordinate
