  2. Square root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root

    Notation for the (principal) square root of x. For example, √ 25 = 5, since 25 = 5 ⋅ 5, or 5 2 (5 squared). In mathematics, a square root of a number x is a number y such that =; in other words, a number y whose square (the result of multiplying the number by itself, or ) is x. [1]

  3. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing...

    A method analogous to piece-wise linear approximation but using only arithmetic instead of algebraic equations, uses the multiplication tables in reverse: the square root of a number between 1 and 100 is between 1 and 10, so if we know 25 is a perfect square (5 × 5), and 36 is a perfect square (6 × 6), then the square root of a number greater than or equal to 25 but less than 36, begins with ...

  4. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    This "completes the square", converting the left side into a perfect square. Write the left side as a square and simplify the right side if necessary. Produce two linear equations by equating the square root of the left side with the positive and negative square roots of the right side. Solve each of the two linear equations.

  5. Quadratic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    To complete the square, form a squared binomial on the left-hand side of a quadratic equation, from which the solution can be found by taking the square root of both sides. The standard way to derive the quadratic formula is to apply the method of completing the square to the generic quadratic equation ⁠ a x 2 + b x + c = 0 {\displaystyle ...

  6. Graph power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_power

    K 4 as the half-square of a cube graph. The half-square of a bipartite graph G is the subgraph of G 2 induced by one side of the bipartition of G. Map graphs are the half-squares of planar graphs, [18] and halved cube graphs are the half-squares of hypercube graphs. [19] Leaf powers are the subgraphs of powers of trees induced by the leaves of ...

    The graph = The 2nd-order super-root, square super-root, or super square root has two equivalent notations, () and . It is the inverse of = and can be ...

  8. Completing the square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completing_the_square

    In elementary algebra, completing the square is a technique for converting a quadratic polynomial of the form ⁠ + + ⁠ to the form ⁠ + ⁠ for some values of ⁠ ⁠ and ⁠ ⁠. [1] In terms of a new quantity ⁠ x − h {\displaystyle x-h} ⁠ , this expression is a quadratic polynomial with no linear term.

  9. Binomial approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_approximation

    The binomial approximation for the square root, + + /, can be applied for the following expression, + where and are real but .. The mathematical form for the binomial approximation can be recovered by factoring out the large term and recalling that a square root is the same as a power of one half.
