Herb Gross discusses linear functions - functions of the form f(x) = mx + b. The graphs of linear functions are described and defined in terms of the concepts of ordered pairs, slope and y-intercept.

Spread the loveIntroduction: In mathematics, the absolute value of a number is the non-negative value of that number, regardless of its sign. Graphing calculators are powerful devices used for ...

Absolute value equations (AVEs), characterised by the inclusion of absolute value functions in the variables, present inherently non‐smooth and computationally challenging problems that are ...

This function takes as its first argument a 1d-array beta of coefficients for the linear model, as its second argument a 2d-array X of data, and as its third argument a 1d-array y of observed outcomes ...

The problem of constructing a canonical representation for an arbitrary continuous piecewise-linear (PWL) function in any dimension is considered in this paper. We solve the problem based on a general ...

For pt.I see ibid., vol.39, no.2, p.124-38 (1992). The minimax (L/sub infinity /- or Chebyshev norm) and the least absolute value (L/sub 1/-norm) optimization criteria for linear parameter estimation ...
