  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. Asymptote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptote

    The graph of a function with a horizontal (y = 0), vertical (x = 0), and oblique asymptote (purple line, given by y = 2x) A curve intersecting an asymptote infinitely many times In analytic geometry , an asymptote ( / ˈ æ s ɪ m p t oʊ t / ) of a curve is a line such that the distance between the curve and the line approaches zero as one or ...

  4. Elliptic curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve

    Graphs of curves y 2 = x 3 − x and y 2 = x 3 − x + 1. Although the formal definition of an elliptic curve requires some background in algebraic geometry, it is possible to describe some features of elliptic curves over the real numbers using only introductory algebra and geometry.

    The first four partial sums of the series 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ⋯.The parabola is their smoothed asymptote; its y-intercept is −1/12. [1]The infinite series whose terms ...

  6. Tupper's self-referential formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupper's_self-referential...

    The formula is a general-purpose method of decoding a bitmap stored in the constant , and it could be used to draw any other image. When applied to the unbounded positive range 0 ≤ y {\displaystyle 0\leq y} , the formula tiles a vertical swath of the plane with a pattern that contains all possible 17-pixel-tall bitmaps.

  7. Bijection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bijection

    For any set X, the identity function 1 X: X → X, 1 X (x) = x is bijective. 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.

  8. Singular point of a curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_point_of_a_curve

    If the coefficient of x 2, + +, is 0 but the coefficient of x 3 is not then the origin is a point of inflection of the curve. If the coefficients of x 2 and x 3 are both 0 then the origin is called point of undulation of the curve. This analysis can be applied to any point on the curve by translating the coordinate axes so that the origin is at ...

  9. Linear function (calculus) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_function_(calculus)

    In calculus and related areas of mathematics, a linear function from the real numbers to the real numbers is a function whose graph (in Cartesian coordinates) is a non-vertical line in the plane. [1] The characteristic property of linear functions is that when the input variable is changed, the change in the output is proportional to the change ...
