  2. Vertical line test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_line_test

    In mathematics, the vertical line test is a visual way to determine if a curve is a graph of a function or not. A function can only have one output, y , for each unique input, x . If a vertical line intersects a curve on an xy -plane more than once then for one value of x the curve has more than one value of y , and so, the curve does not ...

  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.

  4. Polynomial - Wikipedia

    For example, antiderivatives of x 2 + 1 have the form ⁠ 1 / 3x 3 + x + c. For polynomials whose coefficients come from more abstract settings (for example, if the coefficients are integers modulo some prime number p , or elements of an arbitrary ring), the formula for the derivative can still be interpreted formally, with the coefficient ...

  5. Polynomial identity testing - Wikipedia

    [1] [3] The study of PIT is a building-block to many other areas of computational complexity, such as the proof that IP=PSPACE. [ 1 ] [ 4 ] In addition, PIT has applications to Tutte matrices and also to primality testing , where PIT techniques led to the AKS primality test , the first deterministic (though impractical) polynomial time ...

    tensor graph product (or direct graph product, categorical graph product, cardinal graph product, Kronecker graph product): it is a commutative and associative operation (for unlabelled graphs), zig-zag graph product; [3] graph product based on other products: rooted graph product: it is an associative operation (for unlabelled but rooted graphs),

  7. Horizontal line test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_line_test

    In mathematics, the horizontal line test is a test used to determine whether a function is injective (i.e., one-to-one). [1] In calculus.

  8. Gaussian elimination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_elimination

    Once y is also eliminated from the third row, the result is a system of linear equations in triangular form, and so the first part of the algorithm is complete. From a computational point of view, it is faster to solve the variables in reverse order, a process known as back-substitution. One sees the solution is z = −1, y = 3, and x = 2. So ...

  9. 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.
