r/askmath•2 yr. agoChainlistCan someone help me to find the mathematical expression that tells me in which section a point P is in?GeometryPosted Nov 26, 2023, 3:51 PM UTC11ShareSave
first define the two straight lines: r & s
then find it’s analytic expression:
r : x → y & s : x → y
now we define sets:
{1} = {r(x) > 0} ⋃ {s(x) > 0}
{2} = {r(x) > 0} ⋃ {s(x) < 0}
…
you wold also need to define {r}, {s} & {r} ⋂ {s}.
Now a point can only be in one of the above sets and it will depend on r, s.
