  2. Asymptote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptote

    has a limit of +∞ as x → 0 +, ƒ(x) has the vertical asymptote x = 0, even though ƒ(0) = 5. The graph of this function does intersect the vertical asymptote once, at (0, 5). It is impossible for the graph of a function to intersect a vertical asymptote (or a vertical line in general) in more than one point.

  3. Hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola

    So there are two asymptotes, whose intersection is at the center of symmetry of the hyperbola, which can be thought of as the mirror point about which each branch reflects to form the other branch. In the case of the curve y ( x ) = 1 / x {\displaystyle y(x)=1/x} the asymptotes are the two coordinate axes .

  4. Inflection point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflection_point

    Instead, they can change concavity around vertical asymptotes or discontinuities. For example, the function x ↦ 1 x {\displaystyle x\mapsto {\frac {1}{x}}} is concave for negative x and convex for positive x , but it has no points of inflection because 0 is not in the domain of the function.

  5. Shear mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_mapping

    Thus every shear matrix has an inverse, and the inverse is simply a shear matrix with the shear element negated, representing a shear transformation in the opposite direction. In fact, this is part of an easily derived more general result: if S is a shear matrix with shear element λ, then S n is a shear matrix whose shear element is simply nλ.

  6. Singularity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In other words, the function has an infinite discontinuity when its graph has a vertical asymptote. An essential singularity is a term borrowed from complex analysis (see below). This is the case when either one or the other limits f ( c − ) {\displaystyle f(c^{-})} or f ( c + ) {\displaystyle f(c^{+})} does not exist, but not because it is ...

  7. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line–line_intersection

    where the i th row of the n × 2 matrix A is [a i1, a i2], w is the 2 × 1 vector [x y], and the i th element of the column vector b is b i. If A has independent columns, its rank is 2. Then if and only if the rank of the augmented matrix [A | b] is also 2, there exists a solution of the matrix equation and thus an intersection point of the n ...

  8. Critical point (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A critical point at which the Hessian matrix is nonsingular is said to be nondegenerate, and the signs of the eigenvalues of the Hessian determine the local behavior of the function. In the case of a function of a single variable, the Hessian is simply the second derivative, viewed as a 1×1-matrix, which is nonsingular if and only if it is not ...

  9. DE-9IM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DE-9IM

    The Dimensionally Extended 9-Intersection Model (DE-9IM) is a topological model and a standard used to describe the spatial relations of two regions (two geometries in two-dimensions, R 2), in geometry, point-set topology, geospatial topology, and fields related to computer spatial analysis.
