Across
- 4. a rule or equation describing the relationship of two or more variables or quantities, e.g. A = πr2
- 6. the operation in calculus (inverse to the operation of integration) of finding the derivative of a function or equation
- 7. a mathematical statement or hypothesis which has been proved on the basis of previously established theorems and previously accepted axioms, effectively the proof of the truth of a statement or expression
- 8. the inverse operation to exponentiation, the exponent of a power to which a base (usually 10 or e for natural logarithms) must be raised to produce a given number, e.g. because 1,000 = 10³, the log_10 100 = 3
Down
- 1. the mathematical operation where a number (the base) is multiplied by itself a specified number of times (the exponent), usually written as a superscript an, where a is the base and n is the exponent, e.g. 4³ = 4 x 4 x 4
- 2. the branch of mathematics that studies the relationships between the sides and the angles of right triangles, and deals with and with the trigonometric functions
- 3. a branch of mathematics that uses symbols or letters to represent variables, values or numbers, which can then be used to express operations and relationships and to solve equations
- 5. the ratio of a circumference of a circle to its diameter, an irrational (and transcendental) number approximately equal to 3.141593
- 6. a measure of how a function changes as its input changes, i.e. the best linear approximation of the function at a particular input value, as represented by the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the function at that point, found by the operation of differentiation.
