  2. Multiplicative inverse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_inverse

    The graph forms a rectangular hyperbola. In mathematics, a multiplicative inverse or reciprocal for a number x, denoted by 1/ x or x1, is a number which when multiplied by x yields the multiplicative identity, 1. The multiplicative inverse of a fraction a / b is b / a. For the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number.

  3. Exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function

    Exponential functions with bases 2 and 1/2. The exponential function is a mathematical function denoted by () = ⁡ or (where the argument x is written as an exponent).Unless otherwise specified, the term generally refers to the positive-valued function of a real variable, although it can be extended to the complex numbers or generalized to other mathematical objects like matrices or Lie algebras.

  4. Characterizations of the exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characterizations_of_the...

    Characterisation 3 involves defining the natural logarithm before the exponential function is defined. First, This means that the natural logarithm of equals the (signed) area under the graph of between and . If , then this area is taken to be negative. Then, is defined as the inverse of , meaning that by the definition of an inverse function.

  5. Chebyshev polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_polynomials

    The real part of the other side is a polynomial in cos x and sin x, in which all powers of sin x are even and thus replaceable through the identity cos 2 x + sin 2 x = 1. By the same reasoning, sin nx is the imaginary part of the polynomial, in which all powers of sin x are odd and thus, if one factor of sin x is factored out, the remaining ...

  6. Binomial theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_theorem

    In elementary algebra, the binomial theorem (or binomial expansion) describes the algebraic expansion of powers of a binomial.According to the theorem, it is possible to expand the polynomial (x + y) n into a sum involving terms of the form ax b y c, where the exponents b and c are nonnegative integers with b + c = n, and the coefficient a of each term is a specific positive integer depending ...

  7. Exponential distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_distribution

    The exponential distribution is the special case of a Gamma distribution with shape parameter 1. If X ~ Exp (λ) and Xi ~ Exp (λ i) then: , closure under scaling by a positive factor. 1 + X ~ BenktanderWeibull (λ, 1), which reduces to a truncated exponential distribution. keX ~ Pareto ( k, λ). e−X ~ Beta (λ, 1).

    Quadratic formula. The roots of the quadratic function y = ⁠ 1 2 ⁠x2 − 3x + ⁠ 5 2 ⁠ are the places where the graph intersects the x -axis, the values x = 1 and x = 5. They can be found via the quadratic formula. In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a closed-form expression describing the solutions of a quadratic equation.
