TEAR DROP CURVE
Cartesian parametrization: .
Cartesian equation: . Portion of a unicursal algebraic curve of degree n + 2 when n is an integer. (the other portion, when n is odd, is parametrized by ). |
For n = 1, we get the loop of the right parabolic folium.
For n = 2, we get the piriform quartic, up to homothety.
Another curve looking like a tear drop: the Rosillo curve.
