  2. Elementary algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_algebra

    The graph of the logarithm to base 2 crosses the x axis (horizontal axis) at 1 and passes through the points with coordinates (2, 1), (4, 2), and (8, 3). For example, log 2 (8) = 3, because 2 3 = 8. The graph gets arbitrarily close to the y axis, but does not meet or intersect it.

  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. Polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial

    Two polynomial expressions are considered as defining the same polynomial if they may be transformed, one to the other, by applying the usual properties of commutativity, associativity and distributivity of addition and multiplication. For example () and + are two polynomial expressions that represent the same polynomial; so, one has the ...

  5. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    For example, for 2 5 a + 1 there are 3 increases as 1 iterates to 2, 1, 2, 1, and finally to 2 so the result is 3 3 a + 2; for 2 2 a + 1 there is only 1 increase as 1 rises to 2 and falls to 1 so the result is 3a + 1. When b is 2 k − 1 then there will be k rises and the result will be 3 k a + 3 k − 1.

  6. Linear equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

    If b = 0, the line is a vertical line (that is a line parallel to the y-axis) of equation =, which is not the graph of a function of x. Similarly, if a ≠ 0, the line is the graph of a function of y, and, if a = 0, one has a horizontal line of equation =.

  7. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    For example, the solution set for the above equation is a line, since a point in the solution set can be chosen by specifying the value of the parameter z. An infinite solution of higher order may describe a plane, or higher-dimensional set. Different choices for the free variables may lead to different descriptions of the same solution set.

  8. Linear function (calculus) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_function_(calculus)

    The y-intercept point (,) = (,) corresponds to buying only 4 kg of sausage; while the x-intercept point (,) = (,) corresponds to buying only 2 kg of salami. Note that the graph includes points with negative values of x or y, which have no meaning in terms of the original variables (unless we imagine selling meat to the butcher).

  9. Homogeneous coordinates - Wikipedia

    Rational Bézier curve – polynomial curve defined in homogeneous coordinates (blue) and its projection on plane – rational curve (red) In mathematics, homogeneous coordinates or projective coordinates, introduced by August Ferdinand Möbius in his 1827 work Der barycentrische Calcul, [1] [2] [3] are a system of coordinates used in projective geometry, just as Cartesian coordinates are used ...
