  2. 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.

  3. Asymptote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptote

    The graph of a function with a horizontal (y = 0), vertical (x = 0), and oblique asymptote (purple line, given by y = 2x) A curve intersecting an asymptote infinitely many times In analytic geometry , an asymptote ( / ˈ æ s ɪ m p t oʊ t / ) of a curve is a line such that the distance between the curve and the line approaches zero as one or ...

  4. Linear function (calculus) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_function_(calculus)

    In the graph, moving one unit to the right (increasing x by 1) moves the y-value up by a: that is, (+) = +. Negative slope a indicates a decrease in y for each increase in x . For example, the linear function y = − 2 x + 4 {\displaystyle y=-2x+4} has slope a = − 2 {\displaystyle a=-2} , y -intercept point ( 0 , b ) = ( 0 , 4 ...

  5. Linear equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

    The graph of this function is a line with slope and y-intercept. The functions whose graph is a line are generally called linear functions in the context of calculus . However, in linear algebra , a linear function is a function that maps a sum to the sum of the images of the summands.

    is a horizontal line with y-intercept a 0; The graph of a degree 1 polynomial (or linear function) ... the unique solution of 2x1 = 0 is 1/2. This is, in general

  7. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    The solution set for the equations x − y = −1 and 3x + y = 9 is the single point (2, 3). A solution of a linear system is an assignment of values to the variables ,, …, such that each of the equations is satisfied. The set of all possible solutions is called the solution set. [5]

  8. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, a function from a set X to a set Y assigns to each element of X exactly one element of Y. [1] The set X is called the domain of the function [2] and the set Y is called the codomain of the function. [3] Functions were originally the idealization of how a varying quantity depends on another quantity.
