posted: May. 2, 2011 @ 5:49a. We unfortunately have a lease on a 2008 Toyota Sienna minivan that will mature 4/2012. We are going to be considerably over mileage when the lease matures (possibly as much as 10,000 miles).
Noun. 1. axis-a straight line through a body or figure that satisfies certain conditions. coordinate axis-one of the fixed reference lines of a coordinate system. major axis-the longest axis of an ellipse or ellipsoid; passes through the two foci. semimajor axis-one-half the major axis of an ellipse; the distance from the center of an ellipse to one end.
To explore the parabola further see Quadratic Explorer and check axis of symmetry. 3. Axis of a solid. The axis of a solid is an imaginary line passing through the solid, about which the object is symmetrical. For example the axis of a cylinder runs between the centers of end end (base). A way to think about this is if you rotate the cylinder about the axis it would rotate smoothly, without any wobble.
