  2. Sides of an equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sides_of_an_equation

    Similarly, RHS is the right-hand side. The two sides have the same value, expressed differently, since equality is symmetric. [1] More generally, these terms may apply to an inequation or inequality; the right-hand side is everything on the right side of a test operator in an expression, with LHS defined similarly.

    Ptolemy's theorem states that the sum of the products of the lengths of opposite sides is equal to the product of the lengths of the diagonals. When those side-lengths are expressed in terms of the sin and cos values shown in the figure above, this yields the angle sum trigonometric identity for sine: sin(α + β) = sin α cos β + cos α sin β.

  4. Equality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    However, the equality of two real numbers given by an expression is known to be undecidable (specifically, real numbers defined by expressions involving the integers, the basic arithmetic operations, the logarithm and the exponential function). In other words, there cannot exist any algorithm for deciding such an equality (see Richardson's ...

    The first use of an equals sign, equivalent to 14x+15=71 in modern notation.From The Whetstone of Witte (1557) by Robert Recorde. Recorde's introduction of "=" Before the 16th century, there was no common symbol for equality, and equality was usually expressed with a word, such as aequales, aequantur, esgale, faciunt, ghelijck, or gleich, and sometimes by the abbreviated form aeq, or simply æ ...

  6. Identity element - Wikipedia

    Another common example is the cross product of vectors, where the absence of an identity element is related to the fact that the direction of any nonzero cross product is always orthogonal to any element multiplied. That is, it is not possible to obtain a non-zero vector in the same direction as the original.

    3. Restriction of a function: if f is a function, and S is a subset of its domain, then | is the function with S as a domain that equals f on S. 4. Conditional probability: () denotes the probability of X given that the event E occurs. Also denoted (/); see "/". 5.

  8. Schur's inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schur's_inequality

    The standard form of Schur's is the case of this inequality where x = a, y = b, z = c, k = 1, ƒ(m) = m r. [ 1 ] Another possible extension states that if the non-negative real numbers x ≥ y ≥ z ≥ v {\displaystyle x\geq y\geq z\geq v} with and the positive real number t are such that x + v ≥ y + z then [ 2 ]

    For example, taking the statement x + 1 = 0, if x is substituted with 1, this implies 1 + 1 = 2 = 0, which is false, which implies that if x + 1 = 0 then x cannot be 1. If x and y are integers, rationals, or real numbers, then xy = 0 implies x = 0 or y = 0. Consider abc = 0. Then, substituting a for x and bc for y, we learn a = 0 or bc = 0.
