  2. Zero of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_of_a_function

    In various areas of mathematics, the zero set of a function is the set of all its zeros. More precisely, if f : X → R {\displaystyle f:X\to \mathbb {R} } is a real-valued function (or, more generally, a function taking values in some additive group ), its zero set is f − 1 ( 0 ) {\displaystyle f^{-1}(0)} , the inverse image of { 0 ...

  3. Zeros and poles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeros_and_poles

    Technically, a point z 0 is a pole of a function f if it is a zero of the function 1/f and 1/f is holomorphic (i.e. complex differentiable) in some neighbourhood of z 0. A function f is meromorphic in an open set U if for every point z of U there is a neighborhood of z in which at least one of f and 1/f is holomorphic.

  4. Quadratic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_function

    In mathematics, a quadratic function of a single variable is a function of the form [1] = + +,,where ⁠ ⁠ is its variable, and ⁠ ⁠, ⁠ ⁠, and ⁠ ⁠ are coefficients.The expression ⁠ + + ⁠, especially when treated as an object in itself rather than as a function, is a quadratic polynomial, a polynomial of degree two.

    For example, a five-year loan of $1,000 with simple interest of 5 percent per year would require $1,250 over the life of the loan ($1,000 principal and $250 in interest).

  6. Geometrical properties of polynomial roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical_properties_of...

    For simple roots, this results immediately from the implicit function theorem. This is true also for multiple roots, but some care is needed for the proof. A small change of coefficients may induce a dramatic change of the roots, including the change of a real root into a complex root with a rather large imaginary part (see Wilkinson's polynomial

  7. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    The function f(x) = ax 2 + bx + c is a quadratic function. [16] The graph of any quadratic function has the same general shape, which is called a parabola. The location and size of the parabola, and how it opens, depend on the values of a, b, and c. If a > 0, the parabola has a minimum point and opens upward.

  8. Root-finding algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm

    In numerical analysis, a root-finding algorithm is an algorithm for finding zeros, also called "roots", of continuous functions. A zero of a function f is a number x such that f(x) = 0. As, generally, the zeros of a function cannot be computed exactly nor expressed in closed form, root-finding

  9. Siegel zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siegel_zero

    In mathematics, more specifically in the field of analytic number theory, a Landau–Siegel zero or simply Siegel zero, also known as exceptional zero [1]), named after Edmund Landau and Carl Ludwig Siegel, is a type of potential counterexample to the generalized Riemann hypothesis, on the zeros of Dirichlet L-functions associated to quadratic number fields.
