  2. Y-intercept - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-intercept

    Graph = with the -axis as the horizontal axis and the -axis as the vertical axis.The -intercept of () is indicated by the red dot at (=, =).. In analytic geometry, using the common convention that the horizontal axis represents a variable and the vertical axis represents a variable , a -intercept or vertical intercept is a point where the graph of a function or relation intersects the -axis of ...

  5. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    The numbers a, b, and c are the coefficients of the equation and may be distinguished by respectively calling them, the quadratic coefficient, the linear coefficient and the constant coefficient or free term. [2] The values of x that satisfy the equation are called solutions of the equation, and roots or zeros of the quadratic function on its ...

    Definition of slope angle and sector Animation showing the constant angle between an intersecting circle centred at the origin and a logarithmic spiral. The logarithmic spiral r = a e k φ , k ≠ 0 , {\displaystyle r=ae^{k\varphi }\;,\;k\neq 0,} has the following properties (see Spiral ):

  7. Intersection (geometry) - Wikipedia

    The red dot represents the point at which the two lines intersect. In geometry, an intersection is a point, line, or curve common to two or more objects (such as lines, curves, planes, and surfaces).

  8. Intercept theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercept_theorem

    The intercept theorem, also known as Thales's theorem, basic proportionality theorem or side splitter theorem, is an important theorem in elementary geometry about the ratios of various line segments that are created if two rays with a common starting point are intercepted by a pair of parallels.

  9. Iterative method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterative_method

    If an equation can be put into the form f(x) = x, and a solution x is an attractive fixed point of the function f, then one may begin with a point x 1 in the basin of attraction of x, and let x n+1 = f(x n) for n ≥ 1, and the sequence {x n} n ≥ 1 will converge to the solution x.
