key term - H(x) = x^2 + sin(x)

Definition

The function h(x) combines a quadratic term (x^2) with a trigonometric term (sin(x)), resulting in a combination of polynomial and trigonometric behavior.

Related terms

Quadratic Function:

A polynomial function with degree two. In h(x), x^2 is the quadratic term.

Trigonometric Function:

A mathematical function that relates angles to the ratios of sides in a right triangle. In h(x), sin(x) is the trigonometric term.

Periodicity: The property of a function that repeats its values at regular intervals. For h(x) = x^2 + sin(x), the sinusoidal term introduces periodic behavior, causing the function to repeat itself over specific intervals.
