  2. Solving quadratic equations with continued fractions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solving_quadratic...

    By applying the fundamental recurrence formulas we may easily compute the successive convergents of this continued fraction to be 1, 3/2, 7/5, 17/12, 41/29, 99/70, 239/169, ..., where each successive convergent is formed by taking the numerator plus the denominator of the preceding term as the denominator in the next term, then adding in the ...

  3. Extraneous and missing solutions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraneous_and_missing...

    The solution = is in fact a valid solution to the original equation; but the other solution, =, has disappeared. The problem is that we divided both sides by x {\displaystyle x} , which involves the indeterminate operation of dividing by zero when x = 0. {\displaystyle x=0.}

    where c 1 = ⁠ 1 / a 1 ⁠, c 2 = ⁠ a 1 / a 2 ⁠, c 3 = ⁠ a 2 / a 1 a 3 ⁠, and in general c n+1 = ⁠ 1 / a n+1 c n ⁠. Second, if none of the partial denominators b i are zero we can use a similar procedure to choose another sequence { d i } to make each partial denominator a 1:

  6. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    The solution set of the equation ⁠ x 2 / 4 ⁠ + y 2 = 1 forms an ellipse when interpreted as a set of Cartesian coordinate pairs. Main article: Solution set The solution set of a given set of equations or inequalities is the set of all its solutions, a solution being a tuple of values, one for each unknown , that satisfies all the equations ...

  7. Euler's continued fraction formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_continued_fraction...

    Euler derived the formula as connecting a finite sum of products with a finite continued fraction. (+ (+ (+))) = + + + + = + + + +The identity is easily established by induction on n, and is therefore applicable in the limit: if the expression on the left is extended to represent a convergent infinite series, the expression on the right can also be extended to represent a convergent infinite ...

  8. Pell's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pell's_equation

    Pell's equation for n = 2 and six of its integer solutions. Pell's equation, also called the Pell–Fermat equation, is any Diophantine equation of the form =, where n is a given positive nonsquare integer, and integer solutions are sought for x and y.

  9. Rational function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_function

    In mathematics, a rational function is any function that can be defined by a rational fraction, which is an algebraic fraction such that both the numerator and the denominator are polynomials. The coefficients of the polynomials need not be rational numbers ; they may be taken in any field K .
