  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. 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.

  4. Parent function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parent_function

    For example, the graph of y = x 2 − 4x + 7 can be obtained from the graph of y = x 2 by translating +2 units along the X axis and +3 units along Y axis. This is because the equation can also be written as y − 3 = (x − 2) 2. For many trigonometric functions, the parent function is usually a basic sin(x), cos(x), or tan(x).

  5. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    t. e. In mathematics, a function from a set X to a set Y assigns to each element of X exactly one element of Y. [1] The set X is called the domain of the function [2] and the set Y is called the codomain of the function. [3] Functions were originally the idealization of how a varying quantity depends on another quantity.

  6. Quadratic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_function

    The graph of a univariate quadratic function is a parabola, a curve that has an axis of symmetry parallel to the y -axis. If a quadratic function is equated with zero, then the result is a quadratic equation. The solutions of a quadratic equation are the zeros of the corresponding quadratic function. The bivariate case in terms of variables x ...

  7. Linear function (calculus) - Wikipedia

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

    A linear function is a polynomial function in which the variable x has degree at most one: [2] . Such a function is called linear because its graph, the set of all points in the Cartesian plane, is a line. The coefficient a is called the slope of the function and of the line (see below). If the slope is , this is a constant function defining a ...

  8. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    Quadratic equation. In mathematics, a quadratic equation (from Latin quadratus ' square ') is an equation that can be rearranged in standard form as [1] where x represents an unknown value, and a, b, and c represent known numbers, where a ≠ 0. (If a = 0 and b ≠ 0 then the equation is linear, not quadratic.)

  9. Graph theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_theory

    Graph. [] A graph with three vertices and three edges. In one restricted but very common sense of the term, [ 1 ][ 2 ] a graph is an ordered pair comprising: V {\displaystyle V} , a set of vertices (also called nodes or points); E ⊆ {{x, y} ∣ x, y ∈ V and x ≠ y} {\displaystyle E\subseteq \ {\ {x,y\}\mid x,y\in V\; {\textrm {and}}\;x\neq ...
