  2. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    Here the function is and therefore the three real roots are 2, −1 and −4. In algebra, a cubic equation in one variable is an equation of the form in which a is not zero. The solutions of this equation are called roots of the cubic function defined by the left-hand side of the equation. If all of the coefficients a, b, c, and d of the cubic ...

  3. Cube (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_(algebra)

    The cube of a number or any other mathematical expression is denoted by a superscript 3, for example 2 3 = 8 or (x + 1) 3. The cube is also the number multiplied by its square: n 3 = n × n 2 = n × n × n. The cube function is the function x ↦ x 3 (often denoted y = x 3) that maps a number to its cube. It is an odd function, as

  4. Cubic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_function

    Here the function is f(x) = (x3 + 3x2 − 6x − 8)/4. In mathematics, a cubic function is a function of the form that is, a polynomial function of degree three. In many texts, the coefficients a, b, c, and d are supposed to be real numbers, and the function is considered as a real function that maps real numbers to real numbers or as a complex ...

  5. Cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube

    It has the same number of vertices and edges as the cube, twelve vertices and eight edges. [ 29 ] The cubical graph is a special case of hypercube graph or n {\displaystyle n} - cube—denoted as Q n {\displaystyle Q_{n}} —because it can be constructed by using the operation known as the Cartesian product of graphs .

  6. Taxicab number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicab_number

    In mathematics, the nth taxicab number, typically denoted Ta(n) or Taxicab(n), is defined as the smallest integer that can be expressed as a sum of two positive integer cubes in n distinct ways. [1] The most famous taxicab number is 1729 = Ta(2) = 1 3 + 12 3 = 9 3 + 10 3 , also known as the Hardy-Ramanujan number.

  7. Sum of two cubes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_two_cubes

    A Taxicab number is the smallest positive number that can be expressed as a sum of two positive integer cubes in n distinct ways. The smallest taxicab number after Ta (1) = 1, is Ta (2) = 1729, [4] expressed as. or. Ta (3), the smallest taxicab number expressed in 3 different ways, is 87,539,319, expressed as. , or.

  8. Tesseract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract

    In geometry, a tesseract or 4-cube is a four-dimensional hypercube, analogous to a two-dimensional square and a three-dimensional cube. [1] Just as the perimeter of the square consists of four edges and the surface of the cube consists of six square faces , the hypersurface of the tesseract consists of eight cubical cells , meeting at right ...

  9. Waring's problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waring's_problem

    G(3) is at least 4 (since cubes are congruent to 0, 1 or −1 mod 9); for numbers less than 1.3 × 10 9, 1 290 740 is the last to require 6 cubes, and the number of numbers between N and 2N requiring 5 cubes drops off with increasing N at sufficient speed to have people believe that G(3) = 4; [17] the largest number now known not to be a sum of ...
