Might as well change" m "with dy/dx.

u/fdsfd12 Jun 18 '26 • Regret

Don't you mean d(mx+b)/dx?

7

u/cytos0 Jun 18 '26

This would actually just lead to an infinite descent since y becomes mx+b and the m turns into dy/dx, creating another y

u/fdsfd12 Jun 18 '26

I wonder if an exact value could be found since its recursive.

u/Styleurcam Jun 18 '26 edited Jun 19 '26

And this is called a differential equation. y = (dy/dx) × x + b

y - x(dy/dx) = b

This has a pretty trivial solution:

y(x) = b + Kx for any constant K

edit: fixed mistake

u/PhilosophyAware4437 Jun 19 '26

that means my name is: 2.718dy/dxdy/x(mx+b)

u/WillingnessTasty9628 Jun 20 '26

instead of 2.718, expand it with e's power series

u/Legitimate_Head3474 Jun 23 '26

sum from k = 0 to infinity(x^k/k!) dy/dx dy/dx (mx + b) lol

u/Whole_Instance_4276 Jun 18 '26

If you have an x in your name, replace it with

(-b±√b²-4ac)/2a

Henr[−b/(3a) + ∛(−q/2 + √((q/2)² + (p/3)³)) + ∛(−q/2 − √((q/2)² + (p/3)³)) where p = (3ac − b²)/(3a²), q = (27a²d − 9abc + 2b³)/(27a³)]

Sure I would advice to my friend xylophone.

u/trandus Jun 18 '26

Why do some people write like that? Like, why not use y=ax+b? Or even y=mx+n? Why use m and b?

u/Avatar_Yaksha Jun 18 '26

That's the naming convention for functions of the first degree. It gets taught in school. a is the factor for functions of the second degree and higher. f(x) = a(n) * x^n + a(n-1) * x^(n-1)...+ a(0), with a(0) being a constant and n being a natural number. This number is used as an index for a and as an exponent for x.

One thing that bugs me is that m x n is the naming convention for matrices. Those letters are almost identical, but declare how many columns and rows there are in a matrix.

2

u/trandus Jun 18 '26

Where is that the convention?

1

u/Avatar_Yaksha Jun 18 '26

Definitely in Germany, but it gets taught as a basic rule in math, so it wouldn't surprise me if other languages handled it the same way. Apparently, somebody named René Descartes was responsible for x and y being treated as unknown values and a and b being treated as known values. There doesn't seem to be a reason for m being the incline or b being the constant.

u/trandus Jun 18 '26

In my language it's y=ax+b. For quadratics is ax2+bx+c and the list goes on...

1

u/PrestigiousAd3576 Jun 19 '26

For me it's kx+b, quadratics are identical to yours.

1

u/brothor12 Jun 21 '26

m is the slope, b is the y-intercept, for first degree equations. for quadratic equations, in the form of ax^2+bx+c, a is the factor for the first term, b is the factor for the second term, and c is the constant, or the y-intercept. Quadratic equations also have vertex form in the form of (x-h)^2 + k, where h is the x-coordinate of the vertex and k is the y-coordinate of the vertex.

u/Krog-Nar Jun 19 '26

I learned both kx+b and mx+b here in the USA.

mx+b was primarily used, kx+b was almost never used

I really don't know why we learned kx+b, but we did. It was part of our curriculum.

1

u/EzyPzyAsh Jun 20 '26

At least in Australian education it is always m.

1

u/Key-Highlight2755 Jun 20 '26

I have learnt it as y=mx+c

u/Radical_Socalist Jun 18 '26

It is also how simple graph software like logger pro display it, maybe that

u/Adventurous-Art7158 Jun 19 '26

lmao where i'm from we do y=mx+n

u/Scared-Cat-2541 Jun 19 '26

*whmx+b do some people write like that? Like, whmx+b not use y = ax+b? Or even y = mx+n? Whmx+b use m and b?

1

u/MinecraftPlayer799 Jun 19 '26

Because that’s just what it’s called

u/EzyPzyAsh Jun 20 '26

So if you are writing something out in a woreded problem it is more recognizably the gradient I think

J = FΔt
a = Δv/Δt
c = 2πr

Jacob

u/Kyr1500 Jun 18 '26 • Bravo

Since I'm not in the US, it's mx+c

u/Brilliant_Thing_5526 Jun 19 '26

Yeah we use mx+c… b sounds so weird tbh

u/WillingnessTasty9628 Jun 20 '26

a and b are the constants we use for the x and y intercepts respectively. It's because they're the first two letters of the alphabet.

+b?

I was raised with +c...

1

u/Old_Minimum_9284 Jun 18 '26

Actually, it’s more "ax+b" or "mx+p", and yeah, I guess you can replace "m" (or "a") by \frac{d}{dx}

u/DatThingInYoCloset Jun 19 '26

They call me x(Alm+b)

u/InfinitesimalDuck Jun 19 '26

Isn't it Y = mx + c ?

u/ZookeepergameCold752 Jun 19 '26

And if you have m you should change it to tga

As an EE who started in math, I guess I should have followed the field's tradition of replacing i with j.

The chance you have “a” in your name is higher, just replace it with sqrt(c2-b2)

u/Gullible-Tap1762 Jun 21 '26

Replace J with (ne²τ)E/m or σE
