An equation of the form \(y = mx + c\) where \(m\) and \(c\) are numbers, gives a straight line when values of \(x\) and corresponding values of \(y\) are plotted on a grid. A straight line is a ...

Vector graph or chart of quadratic or polynomial function with formula f(x) = ax2 + bx + c. The mathematical operation, basic function. Graph with grid and coordinates isolated on white background.

Provide students with graphs of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions. Ask them to identify the type of function in each graph by utilizing their knowledge of slope, y-intercept, vertex, and ...

where a, b, and c are numerical constants and c is not equal to zero. Note that if c were zero, the function would be linear. An advantage of this notation is that it can easily be generalized by ...

In a [previous post](/dotphysics/2008/09/basics-making-graphs-with-kinematics-stuff-part-ii/), I talked about how to plot kinematics data with a spread sheet and how ...

Abstract: In this paper an image processing algorithm for automatic evaluation of scanned examination sheets is described. The discussed image contains selected function graphs sketched on a prepared ...

Asymptotic expansions of the distributions of the linear and the quadratic discriminant functions are derived. The expected misclassification probabilities of these two functions are compared when the ...

Abstract: We consider trajectories where the sign of the derivative of each entry is opposite to that of the corresponding entry in the gradient of an energy function. We show that this condition ...
