Best Answer

Yes. It's the graph of [ Y = f(X) ] described by

(X/A)2 + (Y/B)2 = C2

A, B, and C are constants.

If 'A' and 'B' are both '1', then the graph is a circle with radius 'C'.

Is an oval a graph of a function?

No, the graph of an oval/ellipse is not a function because it does not pass the vertical line test.


Is a graph of a quadratic function always a parabola?

No. It can also be a circle, ellipse or hyperbola.


Is an ellipse a function?

No. A function is a "graph" the survives the "vertical line test". Namely, it is for every x in its domain, there can be one and only one f(x) in its co-domain. An ellipse clearly fails it at everywhere except it's two vertex. But an ellipse can be thought as two separate functions. A standard ellipse relation, x^2 / a + (y)^2 / b = 1, can be thought as two separate real functions of y1 and y2. where y1 = -y2 exactly.

What is the zero of a function and how does it relate to the functions graph?

A zero of a function is a point at which the value of the function is zero. If you graph the function, it is a point at which the graph touches the x-axis.

How is the function differentiable in graph?

If the graph of the function is a continuous line then the function is differentiable. Also if the graph suddenly make a deviation at any point then the function is not differentiable at that point . The slope of a tangent at any point of the graph gives the derivative of the function at that point.
