  2. Exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function

    Exponential functions with bases 2 and 1/2. The exponential function is a mathematical function denoted by () = ⁡ or (where the argument x is written as an exponent).Unless otherwise specified, the term generally refers to the positive-valued function of a real variable, although it can be extended to the complex numbers or generalized to other mathematical objects like matrices or Lie algebras.

  3. Quartic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_function

    A quartic equation, or equation of the fourth degree, is an equation that equates a quartic polynomial to zero, of the form. where a ≠ 0. [1] The derivative of a quartic function is a cubic function. Sometimes the term biquadratic is used instead of quartic, but, usually, biquadratic function refers to a quadratic function of a square (or ...

  4. Positive and negative parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_and_negative_parts

    Positive and Negative Parts of f(x) = x2 − 4. In mathematics, the positive part of a real or extended real -valued function is defined by the formula. {\displaystyle f^ {+} (x)=\max (f (x),0)= {\begin {cases}f (x)& {\text { if }}f (x)>0\\0& {\text { otherwise.}}\end {cases}}} Intuitively, the graph of is obtained by taking the graph of ...

  5. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

    Cartesian coordinate system with a circle of radius 2 centered at the origin marked in red. The equation of a circle is (x − a)2 + (y − b)2 = r2 where a and b are the coordinates of the center (a, b) and r is the radius. Cartesian coordinates are named for René Descartes, whose invention of them in the 17th century revolutionized ...

  6. Quartic graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_graph

    The Meredith graph, a quartic graph with 70 vertices that is 4-connected but has no Hamiltonian cycle, disproving a conjecture of Crispin Nash-Williams. Every medial graph is a quartic plane graph, and every quartic plane graph is the medial graph of a pair of dual plane graphs or multigraphs.

  7. Polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial

    The graph of a degree 1 polynomial (or linear function) f(x) = a0 + a1x, where a1 ≠ 0, is an oblique line with y-intercept a0 and slope a1. The graph of a degree 2 polynomial. f(x) = a0 + a1x + a2x2, where a2 ≠ 0. is a parabola. The graph of a degree 3 polynomial. f(x) = a0 + a1x + a2x2 + a3x3, where a3 ≠ 0.

  8. Cubic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_function

    Cubic function. Graph of a cubic function with 3 real roots (where the curve crosses the horizontal axis—where y = 0). The case shown has two critical points. Here the function is f(x) = (x3 + 3x2 − 6x − 8)/4. In mathematics, a cubic function is a function of the form that is, a polynomial function of degree three.

  9. atan2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atan2

    atan2. atan2 (y, x) returns the angle θ between the positive x -axis and the ray from the origin to the point (x, y), confined to (−π, π]. Graph of over. In computing and mathematics, the function atan2 is the 2- argument arctangent. By definition, is the angle measure (in radians, with ) between the positive -axis and the ray from the ...
