Goal (sport) the combined total of points with the winner being decided on total points. For example, in Australian rules football the score may be expressed as follows: Brisbane 9.12 (66) def. Sydney 10.4 (64) In this example Sydney scored 10 goals (at six points each) and 4 behinds (one point each) for a total of 64 points. Brisbane scored 9 goals and 12 behinds for a total of 66 points. Despite having fewer goals, Brisbane won the game. Other sports may use multiple methods of scoring, with the points earned for each type of score varying. In these sports, the object
Five points determine a conic lines defined by opposite sides intersect in three collinear points. This can be reversed to construct the possible locations for a 6th point, given 5 existing ones. The natural generalization is to ask for what value of "k" a configuration of "k" points (in general position) in "n"-space determines a variety of degree "d" and dimension "m", which is a fundamental question in enumerative geometry. A simple case of this is for a hypersurface (a codimension 1 subvariety, the zeros of a single polynomial, the case formula_16), of which plane curves are an example. In the case of a hypersurface,
