Graph of a function
See also: Graph
In Set theory, the graph of a function or graph ensemblist G of a correspondence whose starting whole is called E and the whole of arrival F , is the Sous-ensemble of E × F formed by the couple S of elements bound by the correspondence:
The unit G is called graph because it makes it possible to give a chart of it: indeed, if one can represent E and F on two secant axes, each couple of G can then be represented by a point in the plan defined by the two axes. For example, a numerical Fonction (of in ) can be represented by a plane curve; one also speaks about curve représentatrice of the function.
Note: if the correspondence is a function whose starting whole is a Cartesian square , it is preferable to represent E like a plan and not an axis. In this case, the function is represented by a left surface in usual space with 3 dimensions.
It is possible then to be brought back to a plane representation by considering level line , i.e. by drawing in the starting plan a altimetric Carte of the Relief of left surface.
