The statistical physics of graphs and partition functions represents a vibrant intersection of graph theory, statistical mechanics and computational complexity. By summing over an ensemble of ...

A translation is a shift of the graph either horizontally parallel to the \(x\)-axis or vertically parallel to the \(y\)-axis. If \(f(x) = x^2\), then \(f(x) + a = x^2 + a\). The value of \(a\) ...

In the applet below is intended to help you understand the connection between the graph of a function and the function itself. Recall that a function can be thought of as a machine which takes an ...

All quadratic functions have the same type of curved graphs with a line of symmetry. The graph of the quadratic function \(y = ax^2 + bx + c \) has a minimum turning point when \(a \textgreater 0 \) ...
