  2. Parent function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parent_function

    For example, the graph of y = x 2 − 4x + 7 can be obtained from the graph of y = x 2 by translating +2 units along the X axis and +3 units along Y axis. This is because the equation can also be written as y − 3 = (x2) 2. For many trigonometric functions, the parent function is usually a basic sin(x), cos(x), or tan(x).

  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. Equating coefficients - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equating_coefficients

    The unique pair of values a, b satisfying the first two equations is (a, b) = (1, 1); since these values also satisfy the third equation, there do in fact exist a, b such that a times the original first equation plus b times the original second equation equals the original third equation; we conclude that the third equation is linearly ...

  5. Linear equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

    Given two different points (x 1, y 1) and (x 2, y 2), there is exactly one line that passes through them. There are several ways to write a linear equation of this line. If x 1x 2, the slope of the line is . Thus, a point-slope form is [3]

  6. Polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial

    For example, antiderivatives of x 2 + 1 have the form ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ x 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 ...

  7. Algebraic curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_curve

    The algebraic curve corresponding to the function field is simply the set of points (x, y) in C 2 satisfying y 2 = x 3 − x1. If the field F is not algebraically closed, the point of view of function fields is a little more general than that of considering the locus of points, since we include, for instance, "curves" with no points on them.

  8. Curve sketching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_sketching

    An x value where the y value of the red, or the blue, curve vanishes (becomes 0) gives rise to a local extremum (marked "HP", "TP"), or an inflection point ("WP"), of the black curve, respectively. In geometry , curve sketching (or curve tracing ) are techniques for producing a rough idea of overall shape of a plane curve given its equation ...

  9. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    The solution set for the equations x − y = −1 and 3x + y = 9 is the single point (2, 3). A solution of a linear system is an assignment of values to the variables ,, …, such that each of the equations is satisfied. The set of all possible solutions is called the solution set. [5]
