  2. Hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola

    The names of the other two general conic sections, the ellipse and the parabola, derive from the corresponding Greek words for "deficient" and "applied"; all three names are borrowed from earlier Pythagorean terminology which referred to a comparison of the side of rectangles of fixed area with a given line segment. The rectangle could be ...

  3. Multiplicative inverse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_inverse

    The reciprocal function: y = 1/x.For every x except 0, y represents its multiplicative inverse. The graph forms a rectangular hyperbola.. In mathematics, a multiplicative inverse or reciprocal for a number x, denoted by 1/x or x1, is a number which when multiplied by x yields the multiplicative identity, 1.

    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.

  5. 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.

    graph of an inequality ("a relation" (not wikilinked)) yx + 5; x 2 + y 21; graph of a curve; graph of a parametric equation x = cos t and y = sin t; same as (x,y) = (cos t, sin t) graph of a point in two-dimensional Euclidean space. graph of an ordered pair, or 2- tuple (looks like a point in a plane) graph of a data set, where x ...

  7. Generating function - Wikipedia

    In particular, this sequence has the combinatorial interpretation as being the number of ways to insert parentheses into the product x 0 · x 1 ·⋯· x n so that the order of multiplication is completely specified. For example, C 2 = 2 which corresponds to the two expressions x 0 · (x 1 · x 2) and (x 0 · x 1) · x 2.

    Veusz is a free scientific graphing tool that can produce 2D and 3D plots. Users can use it as a module in Python. GeoGebra is open-source graphing calculator and is freely available for non-commercial users. WebPlotDigitizer, PlotDigitizer's online free app or SplineCloud's plot digitizer can be used to extract data from charts.

  9. Curve sketching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_sketching

    The x intercepts are found by setting y equal to 0 in the equation of the curve and solving for x. Similarly, the y intercepts are found by setting x equal to 0 in the equation of the curve and solving for y. Determine the symmetry of the curve. If the exponent of x is always even in the equation of the curve then the y-axis is an axis of ...
