Quartic Plane Curve




:Ax^4+By^4+Cx^3y+Dx^2y^2+Exy^3+Fx^3+Gy^3+Hx^2y+Ixy^2+Jx^2+Ky^2+Lxy+Mx+Ny+P=0

This equation has fifteen constants. However, any one of them can be set equal to one without changing the shape of the curve. Therefore, quartic curves form a space of dimension fourteen. It also follows that there is exactly one quartic curve that passes through a set of fourteen distinct points.

A quartic curve can have a maximum of:
