  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. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    The solution set for the equations xy = −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]

    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 = = +.

  5. Asymptote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptote

    For example, the upper right branch of the curve y = 1/x can be defined parametrically as x = t, y = 1/t (where t > 0). First, x → ∞ as t → ∞ and the distance from the curve to the x-axis is 1/t which approaches 0 as t → ∞. Therefore, the x-axis is an asymptote of the curve.

  6. Linear equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

    Vertical line of equation x = a Horizontal line of equation y = b. Each solution (x, y) of a linear equation + + = may be viewed as the Cartesian coordinates of a point in the Euclidean plane. With this interpretation, all solutions of the equation form a line, provided that a and b are not both zero. Conversely, every line is the set of all ...

  7. Consistent and inconsistent equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_and...

    The system + =, + = has exactly one solution: x = 1, y = 2 The nonlinear system + =, + = has the two solutions (x, y) = (1, 0) and (x, y) = (0, 1), while + + =, + + =, + + = has an infinite number of solutions because the third equation is the first equation plus twice the second one and hence contains no independent information; thus any value of z can be chosen and values of x and y can be ...

  8. Elementary algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_algebra

    For example, taking the statement x + 1 = 0, if x is substituted with 1, this implies 1 + 1 = 2 = 0, which is false, which implies that if x + 1 = 0 then x cannot be 1. If x and y are integers, rationals, or real numbers, then xy = 0 implies x = 0 or y = 0. Consider abc = 0. Then, substituting a for x and bc for y, we learn a = 0 or bc = 0.

  9. Bijection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bijection

    The function f: R → R, f(x) = 2x + 1 is bijective, since for each y there is a unique x = (y1)/2 such that f(x) = y. More generally, any linear function over the reals, f: R → R, f(x) = ax + b (where a is non-zero) is a bijection. Each real number y is obtained from (or paired with) the real number x = (y − b)/a.
