  2. Y-intercept - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-intercept

    Graph = with the -axis as the horizontal axis and the -axis as the vertical axis.The -intercept of () is indicated by the red dot at (=, =).. In analytic geometry, using the common convention that the horizontal axis represents a variable and the vertical axis represents a variable , a -intercept or vertical intercept is a point where the graph of a function or relation intersects the -axis of ...

  3. 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.

  4. Rational function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_function

    The degree of the graph of a rational function is not the degree as defined above: it is the maximum of the degree of the numerator and one plus the degree of the denominator. In some contexts, such as in asymptotic analysis, the degree of a rational function is the difference between the degrees of the numerator and the denominator.

  5. Asymptote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptote

    The graph of a function with a horizontal (y = 0), vertical (x = 0), and oblique asymptote (purple line, given by y = 2x) A curve intersecting an asymptote infinitely many times In analytic geometry , an asymptote ( / ˈ æ s ɪ m p t oʊ t / ) of a curve is a line such that the distance between the curve and the line approaches zero as one or ...

  6. Genus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Thus, a planar graph has genus 0, because it can be drawn on a sphere without self-crossing. The non-orientable genus of a graph is the minimal integer n such that the graph can be drawn without crossing itself on a sphere with n cross-caps (i.e. a non-orientable surface of (non-orientable) genus n). (This number is also called the demigenus.)

  7. Betti number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betti_number

    For a torus, the first Betti number is b 1 = 2 , which can be intuitively thought of as the number of circular "holes" Informally, the kth Betti number refers to the number of k-dimensional holes on a topological surface. A "k-dimensional hole" is a k-dimensional cycle that is not a boundary of a (k+1)-dimensional object.

  8. Even-hole-free graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even-hole-free_graph

    While even-hole-free graphs can be recognized in polynomial time, it is NP-complete to determine whether a graph contains an even hole that includes a specific vertex. [ 3 ] It is unknown whether graph coloring and the maximum independent set problem can be solved in polynomial time on even-hole-free graphs, or whether they are NP-complete.

  9. Hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola

    Thus, in an xy-coordinate system the graph of a function :, >, with equation =, >, is a rectangular hyperbola entirely in the first and third quadrants with the coordinate axes as asymptotes , the line y = x {\displaystyle y=x} as major axis ,
