- Looking for the mathematical expression for a parameter in a formula
I remember in grad school encountering the notation for what was referred to as either a parameter of a function or something like a constant variable.
For example, typically we denote a function as f( x ), where x is the independent variable.
If the function f( x ) = ax + b, then a and b are constants.
My question is how would I write the function to denote that it is using constants a and b, which aren't exactly variables but they can be changed.
Something like f( a, b ... x ) ?
I don't remember how to denote it, but I remember there was a way of doing so.
Does anyone know?
