Game Theory

[prog_tom]

Experts, Mathematicians, Economists:

Bernoulli's Numbers, Fernall's Numbers,... Any more?

Tom, no offense, but do you just ask random questions? You ask (did you even ask anything?) advanced questions about game theory, yet you don't even know what a function f(x) is!

You see, I have not take Algebra II, so that means I did not cover all the stuff in there. That means, I know regardless of not graphing functions. I seek for your advice and assistance, sir.

Well, honestly, i wouldn't waste your effort on learning advanced economics until you have a pretty good foundation in functions. Economics relies VERY heavily on functions.

Take some time and try and learn them, or ask questions if you have them. They are not that hard. Then go to economics.

I really appreciate you providing a chance for me to seek for your advice and assistance. You are the best!!!

I do not know what form is f(x) must be in. So Can you give me an example?

take a look at this website:

for linear functions...

Standard Forms
There are three standard forms for linear functions y = f(x):
f(x) = mx + b (The "slope-intercept" form),

y - yo = m(x - x0) or, equivalently, f(x) = y0 + m(x - x0) (The "point-slope" or "Taylor" form), and

Ax + By = C (The "general form") which defines y implicitly as a function of x as long as B 0.

i know the
y=mx+b

so it also can be written as f(x)=mx+b?

also can you figure what this map is?
