  2. Quadratic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_function

    To convert the standard form to factored form, one needs only the quadratic formula to determine the two roots r 1 and r 2. To convert the standard form to vertex form, one needs a process called completing the square. To convert the factored form (or vertex form) to standard form, one needs to multiply, expand and/or distribute the factors.

  3. Line (geometry) - Wikipedia

    The normal form can be derived from the standard form + = by dividing all of the coefficients by +. and also multiplying through by if < Unlike the slope-intercept and intercept forms, this form can represent any line but also requires only two finite parameters, φ {\displaystyle \varphi } and p , to be specified.

  4. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

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

    Then the equation takes the form ⁠ = ⁠ in terms of a new variable ⁠ ⁠ and some constant expression ⁠ ⁠, whose roots are then ⁠ = ⁠. By substituting ⁠ x = u − b 2 a {\displaystyle x=u-{\tfrac {b}{2a}}} ⁠ into ⁠ a x 2 + b x + c = 0 {\displaystyle \textstyle ax^{2}+bx+c=0} ⁠ , expanding the products and combining like ...

  6. Linear equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

    In mathematics, a linear equation is an equation that may be put in the form + … + + =, where , …, are the variables (or unknowns), and ,, …, are the coefficients, which are often real numbers. The coefficients may be considered as parameters of the equation and may be arbitrary expressions , provided they do not contain any of the variables.

  7. Polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial

    For example, the factored form of ... is an oblique line with y-intercept a 0 and slope a 1. The graph of a degree 2 polynomial f(x) = a 0 + a 1 x + a 2 x 2, where a ...

  8. Simple linear regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_linear_regression

    In this case, the slope of the fitted line is equal to the correlation between y and x corrected by the ratio of standard deviations of these variables. The intercept of the fitted line is such that the line passes through the center of mass (x, y) of the data points.

  9. Y-intercept - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-intercept

    The -intercept of () is indicated by the red dot at (=, =). In analytic geometry , using the common convention that the horizontal axis represents a variable x {\displaystyle x} and the vertical axis represents a variable y {\displaystyle y} , a y {\displaystyle y} -intercept or vertical intercept is a point where the graph of a function or ...
