  2. Completing the square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completing_the_square

    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 function. One way to see this is to note that the graph of the function f(x) = x 2 is a parabola whose vertex is at the origin (0, 0).

  3. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    For the quadratic function y = x 2 − x − 2, the points where the graph crosses the x-axis, x = −1 and x = 2, are the solutions of the quadratic equation x 2 − x − 2 = 0. The process of completing the square makes use of the algebraic identity + + = (+), which represents a well-defined algorithm that can be used to solve any quadratic ...

  4. Quadratic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    The roots of the quadratic function y = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ x 2 − 3x + ⁠ 5 / 2 ⁠ are the places where the graph intersects the x-axis, the values x = 1 and x = 5. They can be found via the quadratic formula. In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a closed-form expression describing the solutions of a quadratic equation.

    It doesn't say a(x − h) + k; it says a(x − h) 2 + k. The reason for the minus sign is that that makes h the value of x for which the square vanishes, and thus in later problems it is the x-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola. There is nothing essential about the "complete" square being larger than the

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcano_plot_(statistics)

    Volcano plot showing metabolomic data. The red arrows indicate points-of-interest that display both large magnitude fold-changes (x axis) and high statistical significance (-log 10 of p value, y axis). The dashed red line shows where p = 0.05 with points above the line having p < 0.05 and points below the line having p > 0.05.

    — vertical-axis quantities (A/X) and — horizontal-axis quantities (X). sajith 300 Anuradhapura 230. Arithmetically, the area of each bar (rectangle) is determined a product of sides' lengths: (A/X)*X = Area A for each bar. Roles of the vertical and horizontal axes may be reversed, depending on the desired application.

  8. Graph of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_of_a_function

    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.

    Mosaic plot showing cross-sectional distribution through time of different musical themes in the Guardian's list of "1000 songs to hear before you die". A mosaic plot , Marimekko chart , Mekko chart , or sometimes percent stacked bar plot , is a graphical visualization of data from two or more qualitative variables. [ 1 ]
