  2. Linear function (calculus) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_function_(calculus)

    The y-intercept point (,) = (,) corresponds to buying only 4 kg of sausage; while the x-intercept point (,) = (,) corresponds to buying only 2 kg of salami. Note that the graph includes points with negative values of x or y , which have no meaning in terms of the original variables (unless we imagine selling meat to the butcher).

  3. Vector algebra relations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_algebra_relations

    The following are important identities in vector algebra.Identities that only involve the magnitude of a vector ‖ ‖ and the dot product (scalar product) of two vectors A·B, apply to vectors in any dimension, while identities that use the cross product (vector product) A×B only apply in three dimensions, since the cross product is only defined there.

  4. Y-intercept - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-intercept

    The -intercept of () is indicated by the red dot at (=, =). In analytic geometry , using the common convention that the horizontal axis represents a variable x {\displaystyle x} and the vertical axis represents a variable y {\displaystyle y} , a y {\displaystyle y} -intercept or vertical intercept is a point where the graph of a function or ...

  5. Resultant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resultant

    Given two homogeneous polynomials P(x, y) and Q(x, y) of respective total degrees p and q, their homogeneous resultant is the determinant of the matrix over the monomial basis of the linear map (,) +, where A runs over the bivariate homogeneous polynomials of degree q − 1, and B runs over the homogeneous polynomials of degree p − 1. In ...

  6. Triple product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_product

    In geometry and algebra, the triple product is a product of three 3-dimensional vectors, usually Euclidean vectors.The name "triple product" is used for two different products, the scalar-valued scalar triple product and, less often, the vector-valued vector triple product.

  7. Convex combination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_combination

    A conical combination is a linear combination with nonnegative coefficients. When a point is to be used as the reference origin for defining displacement vectors, then is a convex combination of points ,, …, if and only if the zero displacement is a non-trivial conical combination of their respective displacement vectors relative to .

  8. Coordinate vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_vector

    In linear algebra, a coordinate vector is a representation of a vector as an ordered list of numbers (a tuple) that describes the vector in terms of a particular ordered basis. [1] An easy example may be a position such as (5, 2, 1) in a 3-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system with the basis as the axes of this system. Coordinates are always ...

  9. Coplanarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coplanarity

    Their cross product is a normal vector to that plane, and any vector orthogonal to this cross product through the initial point will lie in the plane. [1] This leads to the following coplanarity test using a scalar triple product: Four distinct points, x 1, x 2, x 3, x 4, are coplanar if and only if,
