Risk factors and causes. The retina is the layer of tissue that lines the inside of the eye. It is light sensitive and its function is to send visual signals to the brain, through the optic nerve. Eye trauma can cause a detached retina. Retinal detachment happens when this layer is pulled from its normal position.
Completing the Square: Finding the Vertex (page 1 of 2) The vertex form of a quadratic is given by. y = a(x â h)2 + k, where (h, k) is the vertex. The a in the vertex form is the same a as. in y = ax2 + bx + c (that is, both a's have exactly the same value). The sign on a tells you whether the quadratic opens up or opens down.
In elementary geometry, a polygon (/ËpÉlÉªÉ¡Én/) is a plane figure that is bounded by a finite chain of straight line segments closing in a loop to form a closed polygonal chain or circuit. These segments are called its edges or sides, and the points where two edges meet are the polygon's vertices (singular: vertex) or corners. The interior of the polygon is sometimes called its body. An n-gon is a polygon with n sides; for example, a triangle is a 3-gon.
