Family of Curves

A family of curves is a group of curves that are each described by a parametrization in which one or more variables are parameters. In general, the parameters have more complexity on the assembly of the curve than an ordinary linear transformation. These…

XZ Plane

In order to understand XZ plane, it's helpful to understand two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. To plot a point on a plane, two numbers are needed, and these two numbers in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b are…

Euclidean Geometry

Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with flat surfaces like lines, angles, points, two-dimensional figures, etc. In Euclidean geometry, one studies the geometrical shapes that rely on different theorems and axioms. This (pure mathematics) ge…

Lines and Angles

In a two-dimensional plane, a line is simply a figure that joins two points. Usually, lines are used for presenting objects that are straight in shape and have minimal depth or width.

Let h(x, y, z) = — In (x) — z y7-4z - y4 + 3x²z — e²xy ln(z) + 10y²z. (a) Holding all other variables constant, take the partial derivative of h(x, y, z) with respect to x, 2 h(x, y, z). მ (b) Holding all other variables constant, take the partial derivative of h(x, y, z) with respect to y, 2 h(x, y, z).

ints) A common representation of data uses matrices and vectors, so it is helpful to familiarize ourselves with linear algebra notation, as well as some simple operations. Define a vector ♬ to be a column vector. Then, the following properties hold: • cu with c some constant, is equal to a new vector where every element in cv is equal to the corresponding element in & multiplied by c. For example, 2 2 = ● √₁ + √2 is equal to a new vector with elements equal to the elementwise addition of ₁ and 2. For example, 問 2+4-6 = The above properties form our definition for a linear combination of vectors. √3 is a linear combination of √₁ and √2 if √3 = a√₁ + b√2, where a and b are some constants. Oftentimes, we stack column vectors to form a matrix. Define the column rank of a matrix A to be equal to the maximal number of linearly independent columns in A. A set of columns is linearly independent if no column can be written as a linear combination of any other column(s) within the set. If all…
