Two fractions a / b and c / d are equal or equivalent if and only if ad = bc.) For example, 1 / 4 , 5 / 6 , and −101 / 100 are all irreducible fractions. On the other hand, 2 / 4 is reducible since it is equal in value to 1 / 2 , and the numerator of 1 / 2 is less than the numerator ...
For example, multiplying the lengths (in meters or feet) of the two sides of a rectangle gives its area (in square meters or square feet). Such a product is the subject of dimensional analysis. The inverse operation of multiplication is division. For example, since 4 multiplied by 3 equals 12, 12 divided by 3 equals 4.
These identities are useful whenever expressions involving trigonometric functions need to be simplified. An important application is the integration of non-trigonometric functions: a common technique involves first using the substitution rule with a trigonometric function, and then simplifying the resulting integral with a trigonometric identity.
Percentages greater than 100 or less than zero are treated in the same way, e.g. 311% equals 311/100, and −27% equals −27/100. The related concept of permille or parts per thousand (ppt) has an implied denominator of 1000, while the more general parts-per notation , as in 75 parts per million (ppm), means that the proportion is 75/1,000,000.
A 66-year-old paedophile who sexually abused two girls more than 30 years ago has been jailed for 22 years. Kevin Calderbank carried out the sexual assaults in Peterborough between 1985 and 1989.
[1] [2] Every positive integer is composite, prime, or the unit 1, so the composite numbers are exactly the numbers that are not prime and not a unit. [3] [4] E.g., the integer 14 is a composite number because it is the product of the two smaller integers 2 × 7 but the integers 2 and 3 are not because each can only be divided by one and itself.
Mina’s boyfriend, Andrew Sanchez, 18, spoke to investigators and said he was responsible for the 9 mm gun being found by the 2 ½-year-old toddler. Police said Mina had another child, an 8-month ...
Michael Conahan was sentenced to 17½ years in the judicial scandal, which the FBI described as the “worst in Pennsylvania’s history.”
