    A statement such as that predicate P is satisfied by arbitrarily large values, can be expressed in more formal notation by ∀x : ∃y ≥ x : P(y). See also frequently. The statement that quantity f(x) depending on x "can be made" arbitrarily large, corresponds to ∀y : ∃x : f(x) ≥ y. arbitrary A shorthand for the universal quantifier. An ...

    If y is a function of x, then the differential dy of y is related to dx by the formula =, where dy/dx denotes the derivative of y with respect to x. This formula summarizes the intuitive idea that the derivative of y with respect to x is the limit of the ratio of differences Δy/Δx as Δx becomes infinitesimal.

    In Kiowa, by default, Class I nouns are singular-dual, Class II nouns are plural (two or more), Class III nouns are dual, and Class IV nouns are mass nouns with no number. The inverse number marker changes the noun to whatever number(s) the unmarked noun isn't, such as changing Class III nouns from dual to nondual. [ 277 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_plurals

    Usually, in borrowing words from Latin, the endings of the nominative are used: nouns whose nominative singular ends in -a (first declension) have plurals in -ae (anima, animae); nouns whose nominative singular ends in -um (second declension neuter) have plurals in -a (stadium, stadia; datum, data). (For a full treatment, see Latin declensions.)

    and the second-order term does not affect the limit, yielding ⁡ ⁡ = ⁡ (+). Euler's number can be defined as e = exp ⁡ ( 1 ) {\displaystyle e=\exp(1)} . It follows from the preceding equations that exp ⁡ ( x ) = e x {\displaystyle \exp(x)=e^{x}} when x is an integer (this results from the repeated-multiplication definition of the ...

  9. Conditional variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_variance

    In words: the variance of Y is the sum of the expected conditional variance of Y given X and the variance of the conditional expectation of Y given X. The first term captures the variation left after "using X to predict Y", while the second term captures the variation due to the mean of the prediction of Y due to the randomness of X.
