  2. Proportionality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    With inverse proportion, an increase in one variable is associated with a decrease in the other. For instance, in travel, a constant speed dictates a direct proportion between distance and time travelled; in contrast, for a given distance (the constant), the time of travel is inversely proportional to speed: s × t = d.

  3. Inverse demand function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_demand_function

    The inverse linear demand function and the marginal revenue function derived from it have the following characteristics: Both functions are linear. [7] The marginal revenue function and inverse demand function have the same y intercept. [8] The x intercept of the marginal revenue function is one-half the x intercept of the inverse demand function.

    Now consider our inverse proportion using the "water triangle". Let L be the height of the water on the left side and R be the height of the water on the right side, then the correct multiplicative strategy can be expressed as L × R = 24; this is a constant product relation.

  6. Inverse function rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_function_rule

    In calculus, the inverse function rule is a formula that expresses the derivative of the inverse of a bijective and differentiable function f in terms of the derivative of f. More precisely, if the inverse of f {\displaystyle f} is denoted as f − 1 {\displaystyle f^{-1}} , where f − 1 ( y ) = x {\displaystyle f^{-1}(y)=x} if and only if f ...

    Handling the direct problem is straightforward, because α 0 can be determined directly from the given quantities φ 1 and α 1; for a sample calculation, see Karney (2013). In the case of the inverse problem, λ 12 is given; this cannot be easily related to the equivalent spherical angle ω 12 because α 0 is unknown.

  8. Proportion (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A proportion is a mathematical statement expressing equality of two ratios. [1] [2]: =: a and d are called extremes, b and c are called means. Proportion can be written as =, where ratios are expressed as fractions.

    The direct limit of any corresponding direct system is isomorphic to and the canonical morphism : is an isomorphism. Let K be a field. For a positive integer n , consider the general linear group GL( n;K ) consisting of invertible n x n - matrices with entries from K .
