  2. Asymptote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptote

    Asymptote. The graph of a function with a horizontal ( y = 0), vertical ( x = 0), and oblique asymptote (purple line, given by y = 2 x ). A curve intersecting an asymptote infinitely many times. In analytic geometry, an asymptote ( / ˈæsɪmptoʊt /) of a curve is a line such that the distance between the curve and the line approaches zero as ...

  3. Strophoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strophoid

    In geometry, a strophoid is a curve generated from a given curve C and points A (the fixed point) and O (the pole) as follows: Let L be a variable line passing through O and intersecting C at K. Now let P1 and P2 be the two points on L whose distance from K is the same as the distance from A to K (i.e. KP1 = KP2 = AK ).

  4. Asymptotic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotic_analysis

    Asymptotic analysis. In mathematical analysis, asymptotic analysis, also known as asymptotics, is a method of describing limiting behavior. As an illustration, suppose that we are interested in the properties of a function f (n) as n becomes very large. If f(n) = n2 + 3n, then as n becomes very large, the term 3n becomes insignificant compared ...

  5. Hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola

    Hyperbola. A hyperbola is an open curve with two branches, the intersection of a plane with both halves of a double cone. The plane does not have to be parallel to the axis of the cone; the hyperbola will be symmetrical in any case. Hyperbola (red): features. In mathematics, a hyperbola is a type of smooth curve lying in a plane, defined by its ...

    Crowds booed as a new Banksy artwork of a stretching cat on an empty, distressed billboard in north-west London was taken down just hours after being revealed. The street artist posted a photo of ...

  7. Analytic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_geometry

    t. e. In mathematics, analytic geometry, also known as coordinate geometry or Cartesian geometry, is the study of geometry using a coordinate system. This contrasts with synthetic geometry . Analytic geometry is used in physics and engineering, and also in aviation, rocketry, space science, and spaceflight. It is the foundation of most modern ...

    In a separate appeal to Chiles being awarded bronze, the ROSC argued that Maneca-Voinea was penalized 0.1 points for stepping out of bounds on her routine when she didn't step out. Video shows ...

  9. Sigmoid function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmoid_function

    A sigmoid function is any mathematical function whose graph has a characteristic S-shaped or sigmoid curve . A common example of a sigmoid function is the logistic function shown in the first figure and defined by the formula: [ 1] Other standard sigmoid functions are given in the Examples section. In some fields, most notably in the context of ...
