  2. 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.

  3. Cubic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_function

    The points T 1, T 2, and T 3 (in red) are the intersections of the (dotted) tangent lines to the graph at these points with the graph itself. They are collinear too. The tangent lines to the graph of a cubic function at three collinear points intercept the cubic again at collinear points. [4] This can be seen as follows.

  4. Montgomery curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgomery_curve

    A Montgomery curve of equation = + +. A Montgomery curve over a field K is defined by the equation,: = + + for certain A, B ∈ K and with B(A 2 − 4) ≠ 0.. Generally this curve is considered over a finite field K (for example, over a finite field of q elements, K = F q) with characteristic different from 2 and with A ≠ ±2 and B ≠ 0, but they are also considered over the rationals with ...

  5. Elementary algebra - Wikipedia

    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.

  6. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    For instance, the first counterexample must be odd because f(2n) = n, smaller than 2n; and it must be 3 mod 4 because f 2 (4n + 1) = 3n + 1, smaller than 4n + 1. For each starting value a which is not a counterexample to the Collatz conjecture, there is a k for which such an inequality holds, so checking the Collatz conjecture for one starting ...

  7. Polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial

    In modern positional numbers systems, such as the decimal system, the digits and their positions in the representation of an integer, for example, 45, are a shorthand notation for a polynomial in the radix or base, in this case, 4 × 10 1 + 5 × 10 0. As another example, in radix 5, a string of digits such as 132 denotes the (decimal) number 1 ...

  8. Elliptic curve point multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve_point...

    where f is the function for multiplying, P is the coordinate to multiply, d is the number of times to add the coordinate to itself. Example: 100P can be written as 2(2[P + 2(2[2(P + 2P)])]) and thus requires six point double operations and two point addition operations. 100P would be equal to f(P, 100).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    [29] [30] His solution of the quadratic equation ⁠ + = ⁠ was as follows: "To the absolute number multiplied by four times the [coefficient of the] square, add the square of the [coefficient of the] middle term; the square root of the same, less the [coefficient of the] middle term, being divided by twice the [coefficient of the] square is ...
