  2. 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.

  3. Y-intercept - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-intercept

    Graph = with the -axis as the horizontal axis and the -axis as the vertical axis.The -intercept of () is indicated by the red dot at (=, =).. In analytic geometry, using the common convention that the horizontal axis represents a variable and the vertical axis represents a variable , a -intercept or vertical intercept is a point where the graph of a function or relation intersects the -axis of ...

  4. Linear function (calculus) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_function_(calculus)

    The y-intercept is the initial value = = at =. The slope a measures the rate of change of the output y per unit change in the input x. In the graph, moving one unit to the right (increasing x by 1) moves the y-value up by a: that is, (+) = +.

  5. Graph theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_theory

    A drawing of a graph with 6 vertices and 7 edges. In mathematics and computer science, graph theory is the study of graphs, which are mathematical structures used to model pairwise relations between objects. A graph in this context is made up of vertices (also called nodes or points) which are connected by edges (also called arcs, links or lines).

  6. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

    Fixing or choosing the x-axis determines the y-axis up to direction. Namely, the y-axis is necessarily the perpendicular to the x-axis through the point marked 0 on the x-axis. But there is a choice of which of the two half lines on the perpendicular to designate as positive and which as negative.

  7. Linear equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

    The graph of this function is a line with slope and y-intercept. The functions whose graph is a line are generally called linear functions in the context of calculus . However, in linear algebra , a linear function is a function that maps a sum to the sum of the images of the summands.

  8. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A function :, with domain X and codomain Y, is bijective, if for every y in Y, there is one and only one element x in X such that y = f(x). In this case, the inverse function of f is the function f − 1 : Y → X {\displaystyle f^{-1}:Y\to X} that maps yY {\displaystyle y\in Y} to the element x ∈ X {\displaystyle x\in X} such that y = f ...

  9. Quartic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_function

    The four roots of the depressed quartic x 4 + px 2 + qx + r = 0 may also be expressed as the x coordinates of the intersections of the two quadratic equations y 2 + py + qx + r = 0 and y − x 2 = 0 i.e., using the substitution y = x 2 that two quadratics intersect in four points is an instance of Bézout's theorem.
