  2. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    One particular solution is x = 0, y = 0, z = 0. Two other solutions are x = 3, y = 6, z = 1, and x = 8, y = 9, z = 2. There is a unique plane in three-dimensional space which passes through the three points with these coordinates, and this plane is the set of all points whose coordinates are solutions of the equation.

    For example, if we were solving the following equation, the correct solution is obtained by subtracting from both sides, then dividing both sides by : 2 x + 4 = 0 , {\displaystyle 2x+4=0,} 2 x = − 4 , {\displaystyle 2x=-4,}

  4. Annihilator method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annihilator_method

    In mathematics, the annihilator method is a procedure used to find a particular solution to certain types of non-homogeneous ordinary differential equations (ODEs). [1] It is similar to the method of undetermined coefficients, but instead of guessing the particular solution in the method of undetermined coefficients, the particular solution is determined systematically in this technique.

    For example, log 2 (8) = 3, because 2 3 = 8. The graph gets arbitrarily close to the y axis, but does not meet or intersect it . An exponential equation is one which has the form a x = b {\displaystyle a^{x}=b} for a > 0 {\displaystyle a>0} , [ 43 ] which has solution

  6. Closed-form expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-form_expression

    The quadratic formula =. is a closed form of the solutions to the general quadratic equation + + =. More generally, in the context of polynomial equations, a closed form of a solution is a solution in radicals; that is, a closed-form expression for which the allowed functions are only n th-roots and field operations (+,,, /).

  7. Linear equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

    Conversely, every line is the set of all solutions of a linear equation. The phrase "linear equation" takes its origin in this correspondence between lines and equations: a linear equation in two variables is an equation whose solutions form a line. If b ≠ 0, the line is the graph of the function of x that

  8. Equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation

    The solutions –1 and 2 of the polynomial equation x 2 – x + 2 = 0 are the points where the graph of the quadratic function y = x 2 – x + 2 cuts the x-axis. In general, an algebraic equation or polynomial equation is an equation of the form =, or = [a]

  9. Frobenius method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frobenius_method

    Example: consider the following differential equation (Kummer's equation with a = 1 and b = 2): ″ + ′ = The roots of the indicial equation are −1 and 0. Two independent solutions are 1 / z {\displaystyle 1/z} and e z / z , {\displaystyle e^{z}/z,} so we see that the logarithm does not appear in any solution.
