  2. Parabola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola

    In the theory of quadratic forms, the parabola is the graph of the quadratic form x 2 (or other scalings), while the elliptic paraboloid is the graph of the positive-definite quadratic form x 2 + y 2 (or scalings), and the hyperbolic paraboloid is the graph of the indefinite quadratic form x 2 − y 2. Generalizations to more variables yield ...

  3. Graph labeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_labeling

    In the mathematical discipline of graph theory, a graph labeling is the assignment of labels, traditionally represented by integers, to edges and/or vertices of a graph. [ 1 ] Formally, given a graph G = ( V , E ) , a vertex labeling is a function of V to a set of labels; a graph with such a function defined is called a vertex-labeled graph .

  4. Eccentricity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A family of conic sections of varying eccentricity share a focus point and directrix line, including an ellipse (red, e = 1/2), a parabola (green, e = 1), and a hyperbola (blue, e = 2). The conic of eccentricity 0 in this figure is an infinitesimal circle centered at the focus, and the conic of eccentricity ∞ is an infinitesimally separated ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_curve

    A parabola, a convex curve that is the graph of the convex function () = In geometry, a convex curve is a plane curve that has a supporting line through each of its points. There are many other equivalent definitions of these curves, going back to Archimedes.

    Graph of y = ax 2 + bx + c, where a and the discriminant b 2 − 4ac are positive, with. Roots and y-intercept in red; Vertex and axis of symmetry in blue; Focus and directrix in pink; Visualisation of the complex roots of y = ax 2 + bx + c: the parabola is rotated 180° about its vertex (orange).

  8. Structural differential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_differential

    The labels [usually seven or eight are linked together in a chain, with the last one attached back to the parabola, but here we see just one] are shaped like suitcase labels, and represent the static world of words, e.g., "apple", giving imperfect accounts of dynamic reality. An object called an "apple" left in a jar for months becomes a putrid ...

  9. Envelope (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The zero level set F(t 0,(x,y)) = 0 gives the equation of the tangent line to the parabola at the point (t 0,t 0 2). The equation t 2 – 2 tx + y = 0 can always be solved for y as a function of x and so, consider
