  2. Algebraic expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_expression

    A rational algebraic expression (or rational expression) is an algebraic expression that can be written as a quotient of polynomials, such as x 2 + 4x + 4. An irrational algebraic expression is one that is not rational, such as √ x + 4.

    For example, when d=4, the hash table for two occurrences of d would contain the key-value pair 8 and 4+4, and the one for three occurrences, the key-value pair 2 and (4+4)/4 (strings shown in bold). The task is then reduced to recursively computing these hash tables for increasing n , starting from n=1 and continuing up to e.g. n=4.

    The general form of a linear equation with one variable, can be written as: + = Following the same procedure (i.e. subtract b from both sides, and then divide by a ), the general solution is given by x = c − b a {\displaystyle x={\frac {c-b}{a}}}

    The numbers 0–9 in Chinese huama (花碼) numerals. The ancient Chinese used numerals that look much like the tally system. [27] Numbers one through four were horizontal lines. Five was an X between two horizontal lines; it looked almost exactly the same as the Roman numeral for ten.

  6. Variable (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_(mathematics)

    The values a variable can take are usually of the same kind, often numbers. More specifically, the values involved may form a set, such as the set of real numbers. The object may not always exist, or it might be uncertain whether any valid candidate exists or not. For example, one could represent two integers by the variables p and q and ...

    PM gives the example: φ is a function that indicates "is a Greek", and ψ indicates "is a man", and χ indicates "is a mortal" these functions then apply to a variable x. PM can now write, and evaluate: (x) . ψx. The notation above means "for all x, x is a man". Given a collection of individuals, one can evaluate the above formula for truth ...

    If a mixture contains substances A, B, C and D in the ratio 5:9:4:2 then there are 5 parts of A for every 9 parts of B, 4 parts of C and 2 parts of D. As 5+9+4+2=20, the total mixture contains 5/20 of A (5 parts out of 20), 9/20 of B, 4/20 of C, and 2/20 of D. If we divide all numbers by the total and multiply by 100, we have converted to ...

    Likewise, tan ⁠ 3 π / 16 ⁠, tan ⁠ 7 π / 16 ⁠, tan ⁠ 11 π / 16 ⁠, and tan ⁠ 15 π / 16 ⁠ satisfy the irreducible polynomial x 4 − 4x 3 − 6x 2 + 4x + 1 = 0, and so are conjugate algebraic integers. This is the equivalent of angles which, when measured in degrees, have rational numbers. [2] Some but not all irrational ...
