  2. Proportionality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Hence the constant "k" is the product of x and y. The graph of two variables varying inversely on the Cartesian coordinate plane is a rectangular hyperbola. The product of the x and y values of each point on the curve equals the constant of proportionality (k). Since neither x nor y can equal zero (because k is non-zero), the graph never ...

  3. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    The equations 3x + 2y = 6 and 3x + 2y = 12 are inconsistent. A linear system is inconsistent if it has no solution, and otherwise, it is said to be consistent. [7] When the system is inconsistent, it is possible to derive a contradiction from the equations, that may always be rewritten as the statement 0 = 1. For example, the equations

  4. Linear inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_inequality

    This can be concisely written as the matrix inequality , where A is an m×n matrix, x is an n×1 column vector of variables, and b is an m×1 column vector of constants. [citation needed] In the above systems both strict and non-strict inequalities may be used. Not all systems of linear inequalities have solutions.

  5. Polynomial long division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_long_division

    x 3 has been divided leaving no remainder, and can therefore be marked as used by crossing it out. The result x 2 is then multiplied by the second term in the divisor −3 = −3x 2. Determine the partial remainder by subtracting −2x 2 − (−3x 2) = x 2. Mark −2x 2 as used and place the new remainder x 2 above it.

    For example, the system x 3 – 1 = 0, x 2 – 1 = 0 is overdetermined (having two equations but only one unknown), but it is not inconsistent since it has the solution x = 1. A system is underdetermined if the number of equations is lower than the number of the variables.

    For example, let’s say that your current mortgage loan balance is $360,000. But your home is only worth $300,000. In that case, you would have negative equity of $60,000.

  8. Stock valuation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_valuation

    Stock valuation is the method of calculating theoretical values of companies and their stocks.The main use of these methods is to predict future market prices, or more generally, potential market prices, and thus to profit from price movement – stocks that are judged undervalued (with respect to their theoretical value) are bought, while stocks that are judged overvalued are sold, in the ...

  9. Linear least squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_least_squares

    Mathematically, linear least squares is the problem of approximately solving an overdetermined system of linear equations A x = b, where b is not an element of the column space of the matrix A. The approximate solution is realized as an exact solution to A x = b', where b' is the projection of b onto the column space of A. The best ...
