  2. Substitution (logic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitution_(logic)

    An example for a renaming substitution is { xx 1, x 1y, yy 2, y 2 ↦ x}, it has the inverse { xy 2, y 2 ↦ y, yx 1, x 1x}. The flat substitution { x ↦ z, y ↦ z} cannot have an inverse, since e.g. (x+y) { x ↦ z, y ↦ z} = z+z, and the latter term cannot be transformed back to x+y, as the information about ...

  3. Elasticity of substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_of_substitution

    Elasticity of substitution is the ratio of percentage change in capital-labour ratio with the percentage change in Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution. [1] In a competitive market, it measures the percentage change in the two inputs used in response to a percentage change in their prices. [ 2 ]

    The formula calculator concept can be applied to all types of calculator, including arithmetic, scientific, statistics, financial and conversion calculators. The calculation can be typed or pasted into an edit box of: A software package that runs on a computer, for example as a dialog box. An on-line formula calculator hosted on a web site.

  5. Equating coefficients - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equating_coefficients

    The unique pair of values a, b satisfying the first two equations is (a, b) = (1, 1); since these values also satisfy the third equation, there do in fact exist a, b such that a times the original first equation plus b times the original second equation equals the original third equation; we conclude that the third equation is linearly ...

    For example, taking the statement x + 1 = 0, if x is substituted with 1, this implies 1 + 1 = 2 = 0, which is false, which implies that if x + 1 = 0 then x cannot be 1. If x and y are integers, rationals, or real numbers, then xy = 0 implies x = 0 or y = 0. Consider abc = 0. Then, substituting a for x and bc for y, we learn a = 0 or bc = 0.

  7. Marginal rate of substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_rate_of_substitution

    Under the standard assumption of neoclassical economics that goods and services are continuously divisible, the marginal rates of substitution will be the same regardless of the direction of exchange, and will correspond to the slope of an indifference curve (more precisely, to the slope multiplied by −1) passing through the consumption bundle in question, at that point: mathematically, it ...

  8. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    It is also possible to take the variable y to be the unknown, and then the equation is solved by y = x1. Or x and y can both be treated as unknowns, and then there are many solutions to the equation; a symbolic solution is (x, y) = (a + 1, a), where the variable a may take any value. Instantiating a symbolic solution with specific numbers ...

  9. Equality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The equals sign, used to represent equality symbolically in an equation. In mathematics, equality is a relationship between two quantities or expressions, stating that they have the same value, or represent the same mathematical object. [1] [2] Equality between A and B is written A = B, and pronounced "A equals B".
