Orthogonal and Orthonormal Functions: Definition, Examples

The orthogonal and orthonormal functions on an interval [a, b] are such functions where the tangents to the curves y=Φ1(x) and y=Φ2(x) at their intersecting points are perpendicular to each other. In this article, we study orthogonal and orthonormal functions along with examples. Orthogonal Function Definition A set of functions {Φ1(x), Φ2(x), …, Φn(x), …} … Read more

Even and Odd Functions: Definition, Examples, Properties

The even and odd functions are classified by their symmetry properties. A function f is even if f(-x)=f(x) and odd if f(-x)=-f(x). In this article, we study even and odd functions with their properties and solve some problems. Even and odd functions are defined as follows: Even Function: f(-x) = f(x).Odd Function: f(-x) = -f(x). … Read more

Well Ordering Principle: Statement, Proof, Application

The well ordering principle of natural numbers states that every non-empty subset of natural numbers has a least element. Here we state and prove the well-ordering principle with applications. ℕ: = The set of natural numbers. Statement of Well Ordering Principle Every non-empty subset of natural numbers has a least element. That is, if S … Read more
