AI Thread Summary
Trilinear functions are indeed extensions of linear functions to three dimensions, represented mathematically as f(x,y,z) = 3x - 2y + 4z. Triquadratic functions extend quadratic functions into three dimensions, with examples including g(x,y,z) = x^2 + y^2 + z^2 and h(x,y,z) = xy + yz + xz. Both types of functions are crucial for modeling multidimensional relationships in various fields. Understanding these functions enhances comprehension of higher-dimensional calculus and geometry. This knowledge is essential for applications in physics, engineering, and computer graphics.

Can anyone tell me what are trilinear functions and triquadratic functions with an example?but I think they are extensions of linear and quad functions to 3 dimensions, please help

Yes, that's exactly what they are. An example of a "tri-linear function" would be
f(x,y,z)= 3x- 2y+ 4z

An example of a "tri-quadratic" function would be
g(x,y,z)= x^2+ y^2+ z^2
and another would be
h(x,y,z)= xy+ yz+ xz
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
