The roots, stationary points, inflection point and concavity of a cubic polynomial x 3 − 6x 2 + 9x − 4 (solid black curve) and its first (dashed red) and second (dotted orange) derivatives. The critical points of a cubic function are its stationary points , that is the points where the slope of the function is zero. [ 2 ]
For solving the cubic equation x 3 + m 2 x = n where n > 0, Omar Khayyám constructed the parabola y = x 2 /m, the circle that has as a diameter the line segment [0, n/m 2] on the positive x-axis, and a vertical line through the point where the circle and the parabola intersect above the x-axis.
According to Brooks' theorem every connected cubic graph other than the complete graph K 4 has a vertex coloring with at most three colors. Therefore, every connected cubic graph other than K 4 has an independent set of at least n/3 vertices, where n is the number of vertices in the graph: for instance, the largest color class in a 3-coloring has at least this many vertices.
Graph showing the relationship between the roots, turning or stationary points and inflection point of a cubic polynomial and its first and second derivatives by CMG Lee. The vertical scale is compressed 1:50 relative to the horizontal scale for ease of viewing.
In mathematics, the derivative is a fundamental tool that quantifies the sensitivity to change of a function's output with respect to its input. The derivative of a function of a single variable at a chosen input value, when it exists, is the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the function at that point.
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.
In graph theory, the hypercube graph Q n is the graph formed from the vertices and edges of an n-dimensional hypercube. For instance, the cube graph Q 3 is the graph formed by the 8 vertices and 12 edges of a three-dimensional cube. Q n has 2 n vertices, 2 n – 1 n edges, and is a regular graph with n edges touching each vertex.
Equivalently, an elementary cube is any translate of a unit cube [,] embedded in Euclidean space (for some , {} with ). A set X ⊆ R d {\displaystyle X\subseteq \mathbf {R} ^{d}} is a cubical complex if it can be written as a union of elementary cubes (or possibly, is homeomorphic to such a set) and it contains all of the faces of all of its ...
