  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

    First, x → ∞ as t → ∞ and the distance from the curve to the x-axis is 1/t which approaches 0 as t → ∞. Therefore, the x-axis is an asymptote of the curve. Also, y → ∞ as t → 0 from the right, and the distance between the curve and the y-axis is t which approaches 0 as t → 0. So the y-axis is also an asymptote. A similar ...

    The curve was first proposed and studied by René Descartes in 1638. [1] Its claim to fame lies in an incident in the development of calculus.Descartes challenged Pierre de Fermat to find the tangent line to the curve at an arbitrary point since Fermat had recently discovered a method for finding tangent lines.

    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).

  6. Parametric equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_equation

    More precisely, the implicit equation is the resultant with respect to t of xr(t) – p(t) and yr(t) – q(t). In higher dimensions (either more than two coordinates or more than one parameter), the implicitization of rational parametric equations may by done with Gröbner basis computation; see Gröbner basis § Implicitization in higher ...

  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. Graph operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_operations

    Binary operations create a new graph from two initial graphs G 1 = (V 1, E 1) and G 2 = (V 2, E 2), such as: . graph union: G 1 ∪ G 2.There are two definitions. In the most common one, the disjoint union of graphs, the union is assumed to be disjoint.

  9. Cubic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_function

    The points P 1, P 2, and P 3 (in blue) are collinear and belong to the graph of x 3 + ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠ x 2 − ⁠ 5 / 2 ⁠ x + ⁠ 5 / 4 ⁠. The points T 1, T 2, and T 3 (in red) are the intersections of the (dotted) tangent lines to the graph at these points with the graph itself. They are collinear too.
