  2. 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 : YX {\displaystyle f^{-1}:Y\to X} that maps yY {\displaystyle y\in Y} to the element xX {\displaystyle x\in X} such that y = f ...

  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.

    Dirac delta function: everywhere zero except for x = 0; total integral is 1. Not a function but a distribution, but sometimes informally referred to as a function, particularly by physicists and engineers. Dirichlet function: is an indicator function that matches 1 to rational numbers and 0 to irrationals. It is nowhere continuous.

  5. Range of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_a_function

    Given two sets X and Y, a binary relation f between X and Y is a function (from X to Y) if for every element x in X there is exactly one y in Y such that f relates x to y. The sets X and Y are called the domain and codomain of f, respectively. The image of the function f is the subset of Y consisting of only those elements y of Y such that ...

  6. Sign function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_function

    Signum function = ⁡. In mathematics, the sign function or signum function (from signum, Latin for "sign") is a function that has the value −1, +1 or 0 according to whether the sign of a given real number is positive or negative, or the given number is itself zero.

  7. Domain of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_of_a_function

    A function f from X to Y. The set of points in the red oval X is the domain of f. Graph of the real-valued square root function, f(x) = √ x, whose domain consists of all nonnegative real numbers. In mathematics, the domain of a function is the set of inputs accepted by the function.

  8. Function composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_composition

    By convention, f 0 is defined as the identity map on f 's domain, id X. If Y = X and f: XX admits an inverse function f −1, negative functional powers f −n are defined for n > 0 as the negated power of the inverse function: f −n = (f −1) n. [13] [11] [12]

  9. Linear function (calculus) - Wikipedia

    If x kilograms of salami and y kilograms of sausage costs a total of €12 then, €6×x + €3×y = €12. Solving for y gives the point-slope form = +, as above. That is, if we first choose the amount of salami x, the amount of sausage can be computed as a function = = +.
