  2. Square (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_(algebra)

    The graph of the square function y = x 2 is a parabola. The squaring operation defines a real function called the square function or the squaring function. Its domain is the whole real line, and its image is the set of nonnegative real numbers. The square function preserves the order of positive numbers: larger numbers have larger squares.

  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. Log–log plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log–log_plot

    A log–log plot of y = x (blue), y = x 2 (green), and y = x 3 (red). Note the logarithmic scale markings on each of the axes, and that the log x and log y axes (where the logarithms are 0) are where x and y themselves are 1. Comparison of linear, concave, and convex functions when plotted using a linear scale (left) or a log scale (right).

  5. Parabola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola

    In the theory of quadratic forms, the parabola is the graph of the quadratic form x 2 (or other scalings), while the elliptic paraboloid is the graph of the positive-definite quadratic form x 2 + y 2 (or scalings), and the hyperbolic paraboloid is the graph of the indefinite quadratic form x 2y 2. Generalizations to more variables yield ...

  6. Convex function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_function

    A graph of the bivariate convex function x 2 + xy + y 2. Convex vs. Not convex. In mathematics, a real-valued function is called convex if the line segment between any two distinct points on the graph of the function lies above or on the graph between the two points.

  7. Graph (discrete mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_(discrete_mathematics)

    A graph with three vertices and three edges. A graph (sometimes called an undirected graph to distinguish it from a directed graph, or a simple graph to distinguish it from a multigraph) [4] [5] is a pair G = (V, E), where V is a set whose elements are called vertices (singular: vertex), and E is a set of unordered pairs {,} of vertices, whose elements are called edges (sometimes links or lines).

  8. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A function :, with domain X and codomain Y, is bijective, if for every y in Y, there is one and only one element x in X such that y = f(x). In this case, the inverse function of f is the function f − 1 : Y → X {\displaystyle f^{-1}:Y\to X} that maps yY {\displaystyle y\in Y} to the element x ∈ X {\displaystyle x\in X} such that y = f ...

  9. Quadratic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_function

    Regardless of the format, the graph of a univariate quadratic function () = + + is a parabola (as shown at the right). Equivalently, this is the graph of the bivariate quadratic equation y = a x 2 + b x + c {\displaystyle y=ax^{2}+bx+c} .
