See under {Discontinuous}.          {Elliptic functions}, a large and important class of             functions, so called because one of the forms expresses             the relation of the arc of an ellipse to the straight             lines connected therewith.          {Explicit function}, a quantity directly expressed in terms             of the independently varying quantity; thus, in the             equations y = 6x^{2}, y = 10 -x^{3}, the quantity y is an             explicit function of x.          {Implicit function}, a quantity whose relation to the             variable is expressed indirectly by an equation; thus, y             in the equation x^{2} + y^{2} = 100 is an implicit             function of x.          {Inverse trigonometrical functions}, [or] {Circular       function}, the lengths of arcs relative to the sines,             tangents, etc. Thus, AB is the arc whose sine is BD, and             (if the length of BD is x) is written sin ^{-1}x, and so             of the other lines. See {Trigonometrical function}             (below). Other transcendental functions are the             exponential functions, the elliptic functions, the gamma             functions, the theta functions, etc.          {One-valued function}, a quantity that has one, and only one,             value for each value of the variable. -- {Transcendental       functions}, a quantity whose connection with the variable             cannot be expressed by algebraic operations; thus, y in             the equation y = 10^{x} is a transcendental function of x.             See {Algebraic function} (above). -- {Trigonometrical       function}, a quantity whose relation to the variable is the             same as that of a certain straight line drawn in a circle             whose radius is unity, to the length of a corresponding             are of the circle. Let AB be an arc in a circle, whose             radius OA is unity let AC be a quadrant, and let OC, DB,             and AF be drawnpependicular to OA, and EB and CG parallel             to OA, and let OB be produced to G and F. E Then BD is the             sine of the arc AB; OD or EB is the cosine, AF is the             tangent, CG is the cotangent, OF is the secant OG is the             cosecant, AD is the versed sine, and CE is the coversed             sine of the are AB. If the length of AB be represented by             x (OA being unity) then the lengths of Functions. these             lines (OA being unity) are the trigonometrical functions             of x, and are written sin x, cos x, tan x (or tang x), cot             x, sec x, cosec x, versin x, coversin x. These quantities             are also considered as functions of the angle BOA.
