  2. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

    The quadrants may be named or numbered in various ways, but the quadrant where all coordinates are positive is usually called the first quadrant. If the coordinates of a point are ( x , y ) , then its distances from the X -axis and from the Y -axis are | y | and | x |, respectively; where | · | denotes the absolute value of a number.

  3. Signed area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_area

    The blue area above the x-axis may be specified as positive area, while the yellow area below the x-axis is the negative area. The integral of a real function can be imagined as the signed area between the x {\displaystyle x} -axis and the curve y = f ( x ) {\displaystyle y=f(x)} over an interval [ a , b ].

  4. Method of exhaustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_exhaustion

    The area bounded by the intersection of a line and a parabola is 4/3 that of the triangle having the same base and height (the quadrature of the parabola); The area of an ellipse is proportional to a rectangle having sides equal to its major and minor axes;

  5. Logarithmic scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_scale

    The top left graph is linear in the X- and Y-axes, and the Y-axis ranges from 0 to 10. A base-10 log scale is used for the Y-axis of the bottom left graph, and the Y-axis ranges from 0.1 to 1000. The top right graph uses a log-10 scale for just the X-axis, and the bottom right graph uses a log-10 scale for both the X axis and the Y-axis.

  6. Quadrant (plane geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrant_(plane_geometry)

    The expression reads "All Science Teachers Crazy" and proceeding counterclockwise from the upper right quadrant, we see that "All" functions are positive in quadrant I, "Science" (for sine) is positive in quadrant II, "Teachers" (for tangent) is positive in quadrant III, and "Crazy" (for cosine) is positive in quadrant IV.

  7. Cubic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_function

    The graph of any cubic function is similar to such a curve. The graph of a cubic function is a cubic curve, though many cubic curves are not graphs of functions. Although cubic functions depend on four parameters, their graph can have only very few shapes. In fact, the graph of a cubic function is always similar to the graph of a function of ...

  8. Superellipse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superellipse

    When n is a positive rational number / (in lowest terms), then each quadrant of the superellipse is a plane algebraic curve of order /. [5] In particular, when a = b = 1 {\displaystyle a=b=1} and n is an even integer, then it is a Fermat curve of degree n .

  9. Octant (solid geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octant_(solid_geometry)

    Three axial planes (x=0, y=0, z=0) divide space into eight octants.The eight (±,±,±) coordinates of the cube vertices are used to denote them. The horizontal plane shows the four quadrants between x- and y-axis.
