  2. 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 tt / ) of a curve is a line such that the distance between the curve and the line approaches zero as one or ...

  3. Linear function (calculus) - Wikipedia

    If x kilograms of salami and y kilograms of sausage costs a total of €12 then, €6×x + €3×y = €12. Solving for y gives the point-slope form y = − 2 x + 4 {\displaystyle y=-2x+4} , as above.

  4. 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.

  5. Elliptic curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve

    Graphs of curves y 2 = x 3 − x and y 2 = x 3 − x + 1. Although the formal definition of an elliptic curve requires some background in algebraic geometry, it is possible to describe some features of elliptic curves over the real numbers using only introductory algebra and geometry.

  6. 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]

  7. Linear equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

    A non-vertical line can be defined by its slope m, and its y-intercept y 0 (the y coordinate of its intersection with the y-axis). In this case, its linear equation can be written = +. If, moreover, the line is not horizontal, it can be defined by its slope and its x-intercept x 0. In this case, its equation can be written

  8. Singular point of a curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_point_of_a_curve

    If + is not 0 then f = 0 has a solution of multiplicity 1 at x = 0 and the origin is a point of single contact with line =. If b 0 + m b 1 = 0 {\displaystyle b_{0}+mb_{1}=0} then f = 0 has a solution of multiplicity 2 or higher and the line y = m x , {\displaystyle y=mx,} or b 0 x + b 1 y = 0 , {\displaystyle b_{0}x+b_{1}y=0,} is tangent to the ...

  9. Envelope (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The y value is calculated by knowing that this point must lie on a tangent line to the original curve γ: that F(t,(x,y)) = 0. Substituting and solving gives y = t 3. When t = 0, L is divisible by ε 2. Assuming that t = 0 then the intersection is given by = .
