  2. Exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function

    Exponential functions with bases 2 and 1/2 The base of an exponential function is the base of the exponentiation that appears in it when written as ⁠ x → a b x {\displaystyle x\to ab^{x}} ⁠ , namely ⁠ b {\displaystyle b} ⁠ . [ 6 ]

  3. Second partial derivative test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_partial_derivative_test

    Thus, the second partial derivative test indicates that f(x, y) has saddle points at (0, −1) and (1, −1) and has a local maximum at (,) since = <. At the remaining critical point (0, 0) the second derivative test is insufficient, and one must use higher order tests or other tools to determine the behavior of the function at this point.

  4. Sum of normally distributed random variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_normally...

    It is possible to have variables X and Y which are individually normally distributed, but have a more complicated joint distribution. In that instance, X + Y may of course have a complicated, non-normal distribution. In some cases, this situation can be treated using copulas.

  5. Binomial theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_theorem

    In elementary algebra, the binomial theorem (or binomial expansion) describes the algebraic expansion of powers of a binomial.According to the theorem, the power ⁠ (+) ⁠ expands into a polynomial with terms of the form ⁠ ⁠, where the exponents ⁠ ⁠ and ⁠ ⁠ are nonnegative integers satisfying ⁠ + = ⁠ and the coefficient ⁠ ⁠ of each term is a specific positive integer ...

    [50]: 326 Since the derivative of the function y = x 2 + C, where C is any constant, is y′ = 2x, the antiderivative of the latter is given by: = +. The unspecified constant C present in the indefinite integral or antiderivative is known as the constant of integration. [51]: 135

  7. Linear equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

    Given two different points (x 1, y 1) and (x 2, y 2), there is exactly one line that passes through them. There are several ways to write a linear equation of this line. If x 1 ≠ x 2, the slope of the line is . Thus, a point-slope form is [3]

  8. Binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_coefficient

    On the other hand, if such a tiling uses exactly k of the 2 × 1 tiles, then it uses n − 2k of the 1 × 1 tiles, and so uses n − k tiles total. There are ( n − k k ) {\displaystyle {\tbinom {n-k}{k}}} ways to order these tiles, and so summing this coefficient over all possible values of k gives the identity.

  9. atan2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atan2

    atan2(y, x) returns the angle θ between the positive x-axis and the ray from the origin to the point (x, y), confined to (−π, π].Graph of ⁡ (,) over /. In computing and mathematics, the function atan2 is the 2-argument arctangent.
