  2. Completing the square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completing_the_square

    Given a quadratic polynomial of the form + the numbers h and k may be interpreted as the Cartesian coordinates of the vertex (or stationary point) of the parabola. That is, h is the x -coordinate of the axis of symmetry (i.e. the axis of symmetry has equation x = h ), and k is the minimum value (or maximum value, if a < 0) of the quadratic ...

  3. Closed-form expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-form_expression

    The quadratic formula =. is a closed form of the solutions to the general quadratic equation + + =. More generally, in the context of polynomial equations, a closed form of a solution is a solution in radicals; that is, a closed-form expression for which the allowed functions are only n th-roots and field operations (+,,, /).

  4. Horner's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner's_method

    Horner's method can be used to convert between different positional numeral systems – in which case x is the base of the number system, and the a i coefficients are the digits of the base-x representation of a given number – and can also be used if x is a matrix, in which case the gain in computational efficiency is even greater.

  5. Parametric equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_equation

    If the parametrization is given by rational functions = (), = (), where p , q , and r are set-wise coprime polynomials, a resultant computation allows one to implicitize. More precisely, the implicit equation is the resultant with respect to t of xr ( t ) – p ( t ) and yr ( t ) – q ( t ) .

  6. System of polynomial equations - Wikipedia

    where h is a univariate polynomial in x 0 of degree D and g 0, ..., g n are univariate polynomials in x 0 of degree less than D. Given a zero-dimensional polynomial system over the rational numbers, the RUR has the following properties. All but a finite number linear combinations of the variables are separating variables.

  7. Polynomial transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_transformation

    Let = + + +be a polynomial, and , …, be its complex roots (not necessarily distinct). For any constant c, the polynomial whose roots are +, …, + is = = + + +.If the coefficients of P are integers and the constant = is a rational number, the coefficients of Q may be not integers, but the polynomial c n Q has integer coefficients and has the same roots as Q.

  8. List of common coordinate transformations - Wikipedia

    Let (x, y, z) be the standard Cartesian coordinates, and (ρ, θ, φ) the spherical coordinates, with θ the angle measured away from the +Z axis (as , see conventions in spherical coordinates). As φ has a range of 360° the same considerations as in polar (2 dimensional) coordinates apply whenever an arctangent of it is taken. θ has a range ...

  9. Complex quadratic polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_quadratic_polynomial

    Quadratic polynomials have the following properties, regardless of the form: It is a unicritical polynomial, i.e. it has one finite critical point in the complex plane, Dynamical plane consist of maximally 2 basins: basin of infinity and basin of finite critical point ( if finite critical point do not escapes)
