  2. Lill's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lill's_method

    If simultaneous folds are allowed, then any n th-degree equation with a real root can be solved using n − 2 simultaneous folds. [7] In this example with 3x 3 + 2x 2 − 7x + 2, the polynomial's line segments are first drawn on a sheet of paper (black). Lines passing through reflections of the start and end points in the second and third ...

  3. Piecewise linear function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piecewise_linear_function

    The graph of this function is shown to the right. Since the graph of an affine(*) function is a line, the graph of a piecewise linear function consists of line segments and rays. The x values (in the above example −3, 0, and 3) where the slope changes are typically called breakpoints, changepoints, threshold values or knots. As in many ...

  4. Line chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_chart

    Line chart showing the population of the town of Pushkin, Saint Petersburg from 1800 to 2010, measured at various intervals. A line chart or line graph, also known as curve chart, [1] is a type of chart that displays information as a series of data points called 'markers' connected by straight line segments. [2]

  5. Line segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_segment

    Analogous to straight line segments above, one can also define arcs as segments of a curve. In one-dimensional space, a ball is a line segment. An oriented plane segment or bivector generalizes the directed line segment. Beyond Euclidean geometry, geodesic segments play the role of line segments.

  6. Slope field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope_field

    The slope field can be defined for the following type of differential equations ′ = (,), which can be interpreted geometrically as giving the slope of the tangent to the graph of the differential equation's solution (integral curve) at each point (x, y) as a function of the point coordinates.

  7. Graph (discrete mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_(discrete_mathematics)

    A graph with three vertices and three edges. A graph (sometimes called an undirected graph to distinguish it from a directed graph, or a simple graph to distinguish it from a multigraph) [4] [5] is a pair G = (V, E), where V is a set whose elements are called vertices (singular: vertex), and E is a set of unordered pairs {,} of vertices, whose elements are called edges (sometimes links or lines).

  8. Thomae's function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomae's_function

    Thomae mentioned it as an example for an integrable function with infinitely many discontinuities in an early textbook on Riemann's notion of integration. [ 4 ] Since every rational number has a unique representation with coprime (also termed relatively prime) p ∈ Z {\displaystyle p\in \mathbb {Z} } and q ∈ N {\displaystyle q\in \mathbb {N ...

  9. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineline_intersection

    Suppose that two lines have the equations y = ax + c and y = bx + d where a and b are the slopes (gradients) of the lines and where c and d are the y-intercepts of the lines. At the point where the two lines intersect (if they do), both y coordinates will be the same, hence the following equality: + = +.
