Power Point


PowerPoints

Triangle centers with triangle center functions of the form alpha=a^n are called nth power points. These points lie along the trilinear curve a^n:b^n:c^n that passes through vertices B and C of the triangle DeltaABC. The following table summarizes special named power points, where X_n denotes the nth center in Kimberling's numbering scheme.
