  2. Domain of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_of_a_function

    The term domain is also commonly used in a different sense in mathematical analysis: a domain is a non-empty connected open set in a topological space. In particular, in real and complex analysis , a domain is a non-empty connected open subset of the real coordinate space R n {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{n}} or the complex coordinate space C n ...

  3. Parabola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola

    Conversely, if it is required to find the point B for a particular area SAB, find point J from HJ and point B as before. By Book 1, Proposition 16, Corollary 6 of Newton's Principia, the speed of a body moving along a parabola with a force directed towards the focus is inversely proportional to the square root of the radius.

  4. Quadratic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_function

    Regardless of the format, the graph of a univariate quadratic function () = + + is a parabola (as shown at the right). Equivalently, this is the graph of the bivariate quadratic equation = + +. If a > 0, the parabola opens upwards. If a < 0, the parabola opens downwards.

  5. Surjective function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surjective_function

    Interpretation for surjective functions in the Cartesian plane, defined by the mapping f : X → Y, where y = f(x), X = domain of function, Y = range of function. Every element in the range is mapped onto from an element in the domain, by the rule f. There may be a number of domain elements which map to the same range element.

  6. Paraboloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraboloid

    In this position, the hyperbolic paraboloid opens downward along the x-axis and upward along the y-axis (that is, the parabola in the plane x = 0 opens upward and the parabola in the plane y = 0 opens downward). Any paraboloid (elliptic or hyperbolic) is a translation surface, as it can be generated by a moving parabola directed by a second ...

  7. Parametric equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_equation

    The butterfly curve can be defined by parametric equations of x and y.. In mathematics, a parametric equation expresses several quantities, such as the coordinates of a point, as functions of one or several variables called parameters.

  8. Asymptote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptote

    Such a branch is called a parabolic branch, even when it does not have any parabola that is a curvilinear asymptote. If Q x ′ ( b , a ) = Q y ′ ( b , a ) = P n − 1 ( b , a ) = 0 , {\displaystyle Q'_{x}(b,a)=Q'_{y}(b,a)=P_{n-1}(b,a)=0,} the curve has a singular point at infinity which may have several asymptotes or parabolic branches.

  9. Domain (mathematical analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_(mathematical_analysis)

    In complex analysis, a complex domain (or simply domain) is any connected open subset of the complex plane C. For example, the entire complex plane is a domain, as is the open unit disk, the open upper half-plane, and so forth. Often, a complex domain serves as the domain of definition for a holomorphic function.
