Symbolab is an answer engine [1] that provides step-by-step solutions to mathematical problems in a range of subjects. [2] It was originally developed by Israeli start-up company EqsQuest Ltd., under whom it was released for public use in 2011. In 2020, the company was acquired by American educational technology website Course Hero. [3] [4]
Slope illustrated for y = (3/2)x − 1.Click on to enlarge Slope of a line in coordinates system, from f(x) = −12x + 2 to f(x) = 12x + 2. The slope of a line in the plane containing the x and y axes is generally represented by the letter m, [5] and is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line.
In non-parametric statistics, the Theil–Sen estimator is a method for robustly fitting a line to sample points in the plane (simple linear regression) by choosing the median of the slopes of all lines through pairs of points. It has also been called Sen's slope estimator, [1] [2] slope selection, [3] [4] the single median method, [5] the ...
K is a rate constant (L 2 /T), and ∇z the gradient or height difference between two points at a slope divided by their horizontal distance. This model imply sediment fluxes can be estimated from the slope angles (∇z). This has been shown to be true for low-angle slopes. For more steep slopes it is not possible to infer sediment fluxes. To ...
Given two different points (x 1, y 1) and (x 2, y 2), there is exactly one line that passes through them. There are several ways to write a linear equation of this line. If x 1 ≠ x 2, the slope of the line is . Thus, a point-slope form is [3]
the slope field is an array of slope marks in the phase space (in any number of dimensions depending on the number of relevant variables; for example, two in the case of a first-order linear ODE, as seen to the right). Each slope mark is centered at a point (,,, …,) and is parallel to the vector
The two nonequivalent triple cross products of three vectors a, b, c. In each case, two vectors define a plane, the other is out of the plane and can be split into parallel and perpendicular components to the cross product of the vectors defining the plane. These components can be found by vector projection and rejection. The triple product is ...
Thus the form a x dx + a y dy + a z dz corresponds to the "dual form" a z dx ∧ dy + a y dz ∧ dx + a x dy ∧ dz. Thus, identifying 0-forms and 3-forms with scalar fields, and 1-forms and 2-forms with vector fields: grad takes a scalar field (0-form) to a vector field (1-form); curl takes a vector field (1-form) to a pseudovector field (2-form);
