  2. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    In this case, an element x of the domain is represented by an interval of the x-axis, and the corresponding value of the function, f(x), is represented by a rectangle whose base is the interval corresponding to x and whose height is f(x) (possibly negative, in which case the bar extends below the x-axis).

    If y is a variable that depends on x, then , read as "d y over d x" (commonly shortened to "d y d x"), is the derivative of y with respect to x. 2. If f is a function of a single variable x, then is the derivative of f, and is the value of the derivative at a.

  4. Graph of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_of_a_function

    Given a function: from a set X (the domain) to a set Y (the codomain), the graph of the function is the set [4] = {(, ()):}, which is a subset of the Cartesian product.In the definition of a function in terms of set theory, it is common to identify a function with its graph, although, formally, a function is formed by the triple consisting of its domain, its codomain and its graph.

  5. Domain of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_of_a_function

    A function f from X to Y. The set of points in the red oval X is the domain of f. Graph of the real-valued square root function, f(x) = √ x, whose domain consists of all nonnegative real numbers. In mathematics, the domain of a function is the set of inputs accepted by the function.

  6. List of logic symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_logic_symbols

    In logic, a set of symbols is commonly used to express logical representation. The following table lists many common symbols, together with their name, how they should be read out loud, and the related field of mathematics.

  7. Notation for differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notation_for_differentiation

    When f is a function of several variables, it is common to use "∂", a stylized cursive lower-case d, rather than "D". As above, the subscripts denote the derivatives that are being taken. For example, the second partial derivatives of a function f(x, y) are: [6]

  8. 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). [11] For trigonometric functions, usually the latter is meant, at least for positive exponents. [11]

    They do not represent a single number or a single category. For instance, if P ( X = x ) {\displaystyle P(X=x)} is written, then it represents the probability that a particular realisation of a random variable (e.g., height, number of cars, or bicycle colour), X , would be equal to a particular value or category (e.g., 1.735 m, 52, or purple ...
