  2. Quadratic growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_growth

    In mathematics, a function or sequence is said to exhibit quadratic growth when its values are proportional to the square of the function argument or sequence position. . "Quadratic growth" often means more generally "quadratic growth in the limit", as the argument or sequence position goes to infinity – in big Theta notation, () = ()

  3. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    Figure 1. Plots of quadratic function y = ax 2 + bx + c, varying each coefficient separately while the other coefficients are fixed (at values a = 1, b = 0, c = 0). A quadratic equation whose coefficients are real numbers can have either zero, one, or two distinct real-valued solutions, also called roots.

  4. Quadratic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_function

    In mathematics, a quadratic function of a single variable is a function of the form [1] = + +,,where ⁠ ⁠ is its variable, and ⁠ ⁠, ⁠ ⁠, and ⁠ ⁠ are coefficients.The expression ⁠ + + ⁠, especially when treated as an object in itself rather than as a function, is a quadratic polynomial, a polynomial of degree two.

  5. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Graph of a linear function Graph of a polynomial function, here a quadratic function. Graph of two trigonometric functions: sine and cosine. A real function is a real-valued function of a real variable, that is, a function whose codomain is the field of real numbers and whose domain is a set of real numbers that contains an interval.

  6. Parabolic arch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_arch

    While a parabolic arch may resemble a catenary arch, a parabola is a quadratic function while a catenary is the hyperbolic cosine, cosh(x), a sum of two exponential functions. One parabola is f(x) = x 2 + 3x − 1, and hyperbolic cosine is cosh(x) = ⁠ e x + e −x / 2 ⁠. The curves are unrelated.

  7. 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.

    Therefore, the graph of the function f(x − h) = (x − h) 2 is a parabola shifted to the right by h whose vertex is at (h, 0), as shown in the top figure. In contrast, the graph of the function f(x) + k = x 2 + k is a parabola shifted upward by k whose vertex is at (0, k), as shown in the center figure.
