  2. Asymptote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptote

    If x=a is a vertical asymptote of f(x), then x=a+h is a vertical asymptote of f(x-h) If y=c is a horizontal asymptote of f(x), then y=c+k is a horizontal asymptote of f(x)+k; If a known function has an asymptote, then the scaling of the function also have an asymptote. If y=ax+b is an asymptote of f(x), then y=cax+cb is an asymptote of cf(x ...

  3. Gompertz function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gompertz_function

    The inverse function only produces numerical values in the set of real numbers between its two asymptotes, which are now vertical instead of horizontal like in the forward Gompertz function. Outside of the range defined by the vertical asymptotes, the inverse function requires computing the logarithm of negative numbers.

  4. Truncus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The basic truncus y = 1 / x 2 has asymptotes at x = 0 and y = 0, and every other truncus can be obtained from this one through a combination of translations and dilations. For the general truncus form above, the constant a dilates the graph by a factor of a from the x -axis; that is, the graph is stretched vertically when a > 1 and compressed ...

  5. Unit hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_hyperbola

    In this context the unit hyperbola is a calibration hyperbola [3] [4] Commonly in relativity study the hyperbola with vertical axis is taken as primary: The arrow of time goes from the bottom to top of the figure — a convention adopted by Richard Feynman in his famous diagrams. Space is represented by planes perpendicular to the time axis.

    The y-axis ordinates of A, B ... has a simple zero at = and vertical asymptotes at = /, where it ... (top) when added. All the basis functions have nodes at the ...

  7. Hyperbolic orthogonality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_orthogonality

    xy = 1 with y = 0 as asymptote. When reflected in the x-axis, a line y = mx becomes y = −mx. In this case the lines are hyperbolic orthogonal if their slopes are additive inverses. x 2 − y 2 = 1 with y = x as asymptote. For lines y = mx with −1 < m < 1, when x = 1/m, then y = 1. The point (1/m, 1) on the line is reflected across y = x to ...

  8. Critical point (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    This means that the tangent of the curve is parallel to the y-axis, and that, at this point, g does not define an implicit function from x to y (see implicit function theorem). If ( x 0 , y 0 ) is such a critical point, then x 0 is the corresponding critical value .

  9. Singularity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In other words, the function has an infinite discontinuity when its graph has a vertical asymptote. An essential singularity is a term borrowed from complex analysis (see below). This is the case when either one or the other limits f ( c − ) {\displaystyle f(c^{-})} or f ( c + ) {\displaystyle f(c^{+})} does not exist, but not because it is ...
