oblique
(adjective)
Not erect or perpendicular; neither parallel to, nor at right angles from, the base; slanting; inclined.
Examples of oblique in the following topics:
-
Horizontal Asymptotes and Limits at Infinity
- The asymptotes are computed using limits and are classified into horizontal, vertical and oblique depending on the orientation.
- They can be computed using limits and are classified into horizontal, vertical and oblique asymptotes depending on the orientation.
- Oblique asymptotes are diagonal lines so that the difference between the curve and the line approaches $0$ as $x$ tends toward $+ \infty$ or $- \infty$.
- More general type of asymptotes can be defined as the oblique asymptote case.
-
Anterior Muscles
- They are continuous with the external oblique muscle of the abdomen.
- External Oblique – The external oblique is the largest and most superficial of the flat muscles.
- Internal Oblique – Lying deep to the external oblique, the internal oblique is smaller and thinner.
- Its fibers run perpendicular to the external oblique, improving the strength of the abdominal wall.
- Highlighted in orange, the external obliques lie inferior to the pectoral muscles
-
Asymptotes
- There are three kinds of asymptotes: horizontal, vertical and oblique.
- An asymptote that is neither horizontal or vertical is an oblique (or slant) asymptote.
- A rational function has at most one horizontal or oblique asymptote, and possibly many vertical asymptotes.
- The graph of a function with a horizontal ($y=0$), vertical ($x=0$), and oblique asymptote (blue line).
- Explain when the asymptote of a rational function will be horizontal, oblique, or vertical
-
The Law of Sines
- A right triangle contains a $90^{\circ}$ angle, while any other triangle is an oblique triangle.
- Solving an oblique triangle means finding the measurements of all three angles and all three sides.
- To solve an oblique triangle, use any pair of applicable ratios from the law of sines formula.
- The sides of this oblique triangle are labeled a, b, and c, and the angles are labeled $\alpha$, $\beta$, and $\gamma$.
-
Trochlear (IV) Nerve
- The trochlear nerve (cranial nerve IV) is a motor nerve that innervates a single muscle: the superior oblique muscle of the eye.
- The trochlear nerve (cranial nerve IV) is a motor nerve that innervates a single muscle: the superior oblique muscle of the eye.
-
Lobes, Fissures, and Lobules
- It extends from the apex of the lung down to the horizontal and oblique fissures.
- The middle lobe is the smallest lobe of the right lung, located between the horizontal and oblique fissures.
- It lies beneath the oblique fissure.
- The human left lung is smaller and narrower that the right lung, and is divided into two lobes, an upper and a lower, by the oblique fissure.
- It is above the oblique fissure.
-
The Law of Cosines
- The Law of Cosines defines the relationship among angle measurements and side lengths in oblique triangles.
- An oblique triangle, with angles $\alpha$, $\beta$, and $\gamma$, and opposite corresponding sides $a$, $b$, and $c$.
- This oblique triangle has known side lengths $a=10$ and $c=12$, and known angle $\beta = 30^{\circ}$.
-
Episiotomy
- Therefore, the oblique technique is often applied.
- In the oblique technique, the perineal body is avoided, cutting only the vagina epithelium, skin and muscles (transversalius and bulbospongiosus).
- This technique bifurcates the perineal body, which is essential for the integrity of the pelvic floor. 2)The oblique technique, the perineal body is avoided, cutting only the vagina epithelium, skin and muscles
-
Third Declension
- Note that the final s of the stem becomes r (between vowels) in the oblique cases.
- Notice that the oblique cases of sūs have ŭ in the root syllable.
- The oblique cases are formed from the stem supellectil-.
- Jecur, n., liver, forms its oblique cases from two stems,—jecor- and jecinor-.
- Feminine proper names in -ō have -ūs in the Genitive, but -ō in the other oblique cases; as,—
-
Types of Motion
- In oblique motion, one voice is stationary, while the other voice moves (in either direction).
