  2. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    Two other solutions are x = 3, y = 6, z = 1, and x = 8, y = 9, z = 2. There is a unique plane in three-dimensional space which passes through the three points with these coordinates, and this plane is the set of all points whose coordinates are solutions of the equation.

  3. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    For solving the cubic equation x 3 + m 2 x = n where n > 0, Omar Khayyám constructed the parabola y = x 2 /m, the circle that has as a diameter the line segment [0, n/m 2] on the positive x-axis, and a vertical line through the point where the circle and the parabola intersect above the x-axis.

  4. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    We have f ′ (x) = −sin(x) − 3x 2. Since cos(x) ≤ 1 for all x and x 3 > 1 for x > 1, we know that our solution lies between 0 and 1. A starting value of 0 will lead to an undefined result which illustrates the importance of using a starting point close to the solution.

  5. 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.

  6. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    The solution set for the equations x − y = −1 and 3x + y = 9 is the single point (2, 3). A solution of a linear system is an assignment of values to the variables ,, …, such that each of the equations is satisfied. The set of all possible solutions is called the solution set. [5]

  7. System of polynomial equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_polynomial_equations

    For example, the system x 31 = 0, x 2 – 1 = 0 is overdetermined (having two equations but only one unknown), but it is not inconsistent since it has the solution x = 1. A system is underdetermined if the number of equations is lower than the number of the variables.

  8. Tridiagonal matrix algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tridiagonal_matrix_algorithm

    Thomas' algorithm is not stable in general, but is so in several special cases, such as when the matrix is diagonally dominant (either by rows or columns) or symmetric positive definite; [1] [2] for a more precise characterization of stability of Thomas' algorithm, see Higham Theorem 9.12. [3]

    Dimitrios E. Panayotounakos and Theodoros I. Zarmpoutis discovered an analytic method to solve the above equation in an implicit form. [1] Notes ... 1 – 16. doi:10. ...
