  2. Equating coefficients - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equating_coefficients

    The unique pair of values a, b satisfying the first two equations is (a, b) = (1, 1); since these values also satisfy the third equation, there do in fact exist a, b such that a times the original first equation plus b times the original second equation equals the original third equation; we conclude that the third equation is linearly ...

  3. Quadratic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    The roots of the quadratic function y = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ x 2 − 3x + ⁠ 5 / 2 ⁠ are the places where the graph intersects the x-axis, the values x = 1 and x = 5. They can be found via the quadratic formula. In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a closed-form expression describing the solutions of a quadratic equation.

  4. Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_theorem_on_sums_of...

    If two primes which end in 3 or 7 and surpass by 3 a multiple of 4 are multiplied, then their product will be composed of a square and the quintuple of another square. In other words, if p, q are of the form 20k + 3 or 20k + 7, then pq = x 2 + 5y 2. Euler later extended this to the conjecture that

  5. Exponentiation by squaring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation_by_squaring

    Even using a more effective method will take a long time: square 13789, take the remainder when divided by 2345, multiply the result by 13789, and so on. Applying above exp-by-squaring algorithm, with "*" interpreted as x * y = xy mod 2345 (that is, a multiplication followed by a division with remainder) leads to only 27 multiplications and ...

  6. Associative magic square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_magic_square

    For instance, the Lo Shu Square – the unique 3 × 3 magic square – is associative, because each pair of opposite points form a line of the square together with the center point, so the sum of the two opposite points equals the sum of a line minus the value of the center point regardless of which two opposite points are chosen. [4]

  7. Square (algebra) - Wikipedia

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

    55, or 5 2 (5 squared), can be shown graphically using a square. Each block represents one unit, 1⋅1, and the entire square represents 55, or the area of the square. In mathematics, a square is the result of multiplying a number by itself. The verb "to square" is used to denote this operation.

  8. Cramer's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cramer's_rule

    The areas of the second and third shaded parallelograms are the same and the second is times the first. From this equality Cramer's rule follows. From this equality Cramer's rule follows. Cramer's rule has a geometric interpretation that can be considered also a proof or simply giving insight about its geometric nature.

  9. Fourth power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_power

    In arithmetic and algebra, the fourth power of a number n is the result of multiplying four instances of n together. So: n 4 = n × n × n × n. Fourth powers are also formed by multiplying a number by its cube.
