  2. Function composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_composition

    Note: If f takes its values in a ring (in particular for real or complex-valued f ), there is a risk of confusion, as f n could also stand for the n-fold product of f, e.g. f 2 (x) = f(x) · f(x). [12] For trigonometric functions, usually the latter is meant, at least for positive exponents. [12]

    For example, let f(x) = x 2 and g(x) = x + 1, then (()) = + and (()) = (+) agree just for = The function composition is associative in the sense that, if one of ( h ∘ g ) ∘ f {\displaystyle (h\circ g)\circ f} and h ∘ ( g ∘ f ) {\displaystyle h\circ (g\circ f)} is defined, then the other is also defined, and they are equal, that is, ( h ...

  4. Inverse function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_function

    If nonempty f: X → Y is injective, construct a left inverse g: Y → X as follows: for all y ∈ Y, if y is in the image of f, then there exists xX such that f(x) = y. Let g(y) = x; this definition is unique because f is injective. Otherwise, let g(y) be an arbitrary element of X. For all xX, f(x) is in the image of f.

  5. Fundamental theorem of calculus - Wikipedia

    Specifically, if a continuous function F(x) admits a derivative f(x) at all but countably many points, then f(x) is Henstock–Kurzweil integrable and F(b) − F(a) is equal to the integral of f on [a, b]. The difference here is that the integrability of f does not need to be assumed. [12]

  6. Mean value theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_value_theorem

    exists as a finite number or equals or . If finite, that limit equals f ′ ( x ) {\displaystyle f'(x)} . An example where this version of the theorem applies is given by the real-valued cube root function mapping xx 1 / 3 {\displaystyle x\mapsto x^{1/3}} , whose derivative tends to infinity at the origin.

  7. Equality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equality_(mathematics)

    The equals sign, used to represent equality symbolically in an equation. In mathematics, equality is a relationship between two quantities or expressions, stating that they have the same value, or represent the same mathematical object. [1] [2] Equality between A and B is written A = B, and pronounced "A equals B".

  8. Intermediate value theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_value_theorem

    Intermediate value theorem: Let be a continuous function defined on [,] and let be a number with () < < ().Then there exists some between and such that () =.. In mathematical analysis, the intermediate value theorem states that if is a continuous function whose domain contains the interval [a, b], then it takes on any given value between () and () at some point within the interval.

  9. Quadratic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    The roots of the quadratic function y = ⁠ 1 / 2x 2 − 3x + ⁠ 5 / 2 ⁠ are the places where the graph intersects the x-axis, the values x = 1 and x = 5. They can be found via the quadratic formula. In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a closed-form expression describing the solutions of a quadratic equation.
