Fractals
"Fractals are mathematical constructions of fractal geometry, a relatively new geometric form only discovered/defined in the 1970's by Benoit Mandelbrot who actually coined the term ""fractal"". Previously considered mathematical ""monsters"" fractals were largely ignored by mathematicians as they behaved in ways that were difficult to describe/define, in particular they were ""monster"" curves that were non-differentiable. Benoit Mandelbrot deliberately got a job at IBM in the 1970's so he could gain access to the computing power necessary to study these objects in more detail and since his initial studies Fractal Geometry has become part of every branch of science and given rise to the increasingly popular Fractal Art medium.

How many triangles can be drawn from 6 points where 4 of them are in straight line?
Asked by Wiki User
There are 16 possible triangles.
What is 36 over 126 in simplest form?
Asked by Wiki User
Their highest common factor is 18. Dividing both parts by that gives us 2 over 7.
What is the object-oriented version of C programming language that is used to develop software for PCs such as Fractal Design Painter Lotus 123 and games?
Asked by Wiki User
There isn't one; C is strictly non object oriented. Although C++ is often considered to be an object-oriented extension for C (it was originally called C with Classes), it would be more accurate to describe them as siblings. The two have evolved separately and while they still retain a high-level of compatibility through their common ancestry, they are not the same language.
What fractal is created when each triangle has an upside down similar triangle removed from its middle which creates three smaller triangles similar to the original infinitely repeated?
Asked by Wiki User
Sierpinski Gasket
What are 2 examples of fractals?
Asked by Wiki User
I am a kid, so I might not nail it, but some examples are the dragon curve and julia set.
Do all fractals have an infinite perimeter and finite area?
Asked by Wiki User
yes! the best example would be the Koch snowflake.
