The derivative of a quartic function is a cubic function. Sometimes the term biquadratic is used instead of quartic, but, usually, biquadratic function refers to a quadratic function of a square (or, equivalently, to the function defined by a quartic polynomial without terms of odd degree), having the form
In mathematics, a quartic equation is one which can be expressed as a quartic function equaling zero. The general form of a quartic equation is The general form of a quartic equation is Graph of a polynomial function of degree 4, with its 4 roots and 3 critical points .
In other words, a quintic function is defined by a polynomial of degree five. Because they have an odd degree, normal quintic functions appear similar to normal cubic functions when graphed, except they may possess one additional local maximum and one additional local minimum. The derivative of a quintic function is a quartic function.
The cruciform curve, or cross curve is a quartic plane curve given by the equation = where a and b are two parameters determining the shape of the curve. The cruciform curve is related by a standard quadratic transformation, x ↦ 1/x, y ↦ 1/y to the ellipse a 2 x 2 + b 2 y 2 = 1, and is therefore a rational plane algebraic curve of genus zero.
In mathematics, the term quartic describes something that pertains to the "fourth order", such as the function . It may refer to one of the following: Quartic function, a polynomial function of degree 4; Quartic equation, a polynomial equation of degree 4; Quartic curve, an algebraic curve of degree 4
Several types of kernel functions are commonly used: uniform, triangle, Epanechnikov, [2] quartic (biweight), tricube, [3] triweight, Gaussian, quadratic [4] and cosine. In the table below, if is given with a bounded support, then () = for values of u lying outside the support.
In some cases, the concept of resolvent cubic is defined only when P(x) is a quartic in depressed form—that is, when a 3 = 0. Note that the fourth and fifth definitions below also make sense and that the relationship between these resolvent cubics and P ( x ) are still valid if the characteristic of k is equal to 2 .
The complete graph K 5, a quartic graph with 5 vertices, the smallest possible quartic graph. The Chvátal graph, another quartic graph with 12 vertices, the smallest quartic graph that both has no triangles and cannot be colored with three colors. [2] The Folkman graph, a quartic graph with 20 vertices, the smallest semi-symmetric graph. [3]
