Set-theoretically, one may represent a binary function as a subset of the Cartesian product X × Y × Z, where ( x, y, z ) belongs to the subset if and only if f ( x, y ) = z.

Conversely, a subset R defines a binary function if and only if, for any x in X and y in Y, there exists a unique z in Z such that ( x, y, z ) belongs to R.

* Convex cone, a subset C of a vector space V is a convex cone if αx + βy belongs to C, for any positive scalars α, β, and any x, y in C

It belongs to the so-called plane chart model, where observed latitudes and magnetic directions are plotted directly into the plane, with a constant scale, as if the Earth were a plane ( Portuguese National Archives of Torre do Tombo, Lisbon ).

Then two points x and y in X are topologically distinguishable if they do not have exactly the same neighbourhoods ( or equivalently the same open neighbourhoods ); that is, at least one of them has a neighbourhood that is not a neighbourhood of the other ( or equivalently there is an open set that one point belongs to but the other point does not ).

Two points x and y are separated if each of them has a neighbourhood that is not a neighbourhood of the other ; that is, neither belongs to the other's closure.

That is, a nonempty set W is a subspace if and only if every linear combination of ( finitely many ) elements of W also belongs to W.

For the more general iteration, it has been proved that if the Julia set is connected ( that is, if c belongs to the ( usual ) Mandelbrot set ), then there exist a biholomorphic map between the outer Fatou domain and the outer of the unit circle such that.

But the sphere centered at the origin has this property, that if point ( x, y, z ) belongs to the sphere, then so does the antipodal point (- x ,- y ,- z ) and these two points are different: they lie on opposite sides of the center of the sphere.

However, in the 18th and 19th centuries, the main factors were compensation for the denial of the woman's expectations of becoming " established " in a household ( supported by her husband's wealth ) and possible damage to her social reputation, since there were a number of ways that the reputation of a young never-married woman of the " genteel " classes could be damaged by a broken engagement, or an apparent period of intimacy which did not end in a publicly announced engagement, even if few people seriously thought that she had lost her virginity.
