The quadric cross is made by scaling the 3-segment generator unit by 5 1/2 then adding 3 full scaled units, one to each original segment, plus a third of a scaled unit (blue) to increase the length of the pedestal of the starting 3-segment unit (purple).
A critical point of a function of a single real variable, f (x), is a value x 0 in the domain of f where f is not differentiable or its derivative is 0 (i.e. ′ =). [2] A critical value is the image under f of a critical point.
The trigonometric functions of angles that are multiples of 15°, 18°, or 22.5° have simple algebraic values. These values are listed in the following table for angles from 0° to 45°. [1]
A differentiable function is smooth (the function is locally well approximated as a linear function at each interior point) and does not contain any break, angle, or cusp. If x 0 is an interior point in the domain of a function f, then f is said to be differentiable at x 0 if the derivative ′ exists.
The graph y = x 1/3 illustrates the first possibility: here the difference quotient at a = 0 is equal to h 1/3 /h = h −2/3, which becomes very large as h approaches 0. This curve has a tangent line at the origin that is vertical. The graph y = x 2/3 illustrates another possibility: this graph has a cusp at the origin.
The C 0 function f (x) = x for x ≥ 0 and 0 otherwise. The function g (x) = x 2 sin(1/ x) for x > 0. The function : with () = for and () = is differentiable. However, this function is not continuously differentiable.
If there exists an m × n matrix A such that = + ‖ ‖ in which the vector ε → 0 as Δx → 0, then f is by definition differentiable at the point x. The matrix A is sometimes known as the Jacobian matrix , and the linear transformation that associates to the increment Δ x ∈ R n the vector A Δ x ∈ R m is, in this general setting ...
An example of this is the apparent singularity at the 90 degree latitude in spherical coordinates. An object moving due north (for example, along the line 0 degrees longitude) on the surface of a sphere will suddenly experience an instantaneous change in longitude at the pole (in the case of the example, jumping from longitude 0 to longitude ...
