Not a function: “one to many“. In other words, let’s say you had one x-value that maps to many y-values. For example, — in coordinate notation — (2,1) and (2,10). If the first number (the x-value) repeats, then you do not have a function. To put that another way, ...
Quadratic or Square Function Parent: F(x) = x2 The quadratic parent function takes on a classic parabola shape. Characteristics: Domain: (-∞, ∞). Range: (0, ∞). Inverse Function: g(x) = √x General form: Ax2 + By + Cx + D = 0. References Desmos Graphing Calculator. UF Li...
Lituus with k = 5. The inverse of the lituus is Fermat’s spiral — a type ofArchimedean spiral(the littus is the inverse of Fermat’s Spiral only when the inversion is take as the origin). However, the lituus itself isn’t technically a spiral because its curvature doesn’tstrictly inc...
or “bell curve,” is aprobability distributionthat issymmetricabout its center:half of data falls to the left of themean(average) and half falls to the right. The bulk of data are clustered around the central mean, which results in a bell-shaped curve when graphed. ...
Perhaps thesimplest way to approximate the shapeis with thesine functionandinverse sine function. For example, the following graph uses a combination of sine and inverse sine to create the triangular waves: Graph of f(x) = (2/π) sin-1[sin (π x)] created on Desmos.com ...
