  2. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A function :, with domain X and codomain Y, is bijective, if for every y in Y, there is one and only one element x in X such that y = f(x). In this case, the inverse function of f is the function f − 1 : YX {\displaystyle f^{-1}:Y\to X} that maps yY {\displaystyle y\in Y} to the element xX {\displaystyle x\in X} such that y = f ...

  3. Domain of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_of_a_function

    A function f from X to Y. The set of points in the red oval X is the domain of f. Graph of the real-valued square root function, f(x) = √ x, whose domain consists of all nonnegative real numbers. In mathematics, the domain of a function is the set of inputs accepted by the function.

  4. 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.

  5. Range of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_a_function

    Given two sets X and Y, a binary relation f between X and Y is a function (from X to Y) if for every element x in X there is exactly one y in Y such that f relates x to y. The sets X and Y are called the domain and codomain of f, respectively. The image of the function f is the subset of Y consisting of only those elements y of Y such that ...

  6. Linear function (calculus) - Wikipedia

    If x kilograms of salami and y kilograms of sausage costs a total of €12 then, €6×x + €3×y = €12. Solving for y gives the point-slope form = +, as above. That is, if we first choose the amount of salami x, the amount of sausage can be computed as a function = = +.

  7. Algebraic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_function

    Formally, let p(x, y) be a complex polynomial in the complex variables x and y. Suppose that x 0 ∈ C is such that the polynomial p(x 0, y) of y has n distinct zeros. We shall show that the algebraic function is analytic in a neighborhood of x 0. Choose a system of n non-overlapping discs Δ i containing each of these zeros. Then by the ...

  8. List of mathematical functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_functions

    Dirac delta function: everywhere zero except for x = 0; total integral is 1. Not a function but a distribution, but sometimes informally referred to as a function, particularly by physicists and engineers. Dirichlet function: is an indicator function that matches 1 to rational numbers and 0 to irrationals. It is nowhere continuous.

  9. Vertical line test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_line_test

    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 represent a function. If all vertical lines intersect a curve at most once then the curve represents a function. [1]
