  2. Percentage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentage

    In general, if an increase of x percent is followed by a decrease of x percent, and the initial amount was p, the final amount is p (1 + 0.01 x)(1 − 0.01 x) = p (1 − (0.01 x) 2); hence the net change is an overall decrease by x percent of x percent (the square of the original percent change when expressed as a decimal number).

  3. Repeating decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_decimal

    Every terminating decimal representation can be written as a decimal fraction, a fraction whose denominator is a power of 10 (e.g. 1.585 = ⁠ 1585 / 1000 ⁠); it may also be written as a ratio of the form ⁠ k / 2 n ·5 m ⁠ (e.g. 1.585 = ⁠ 317 / 2 3 ·5 2 ⁠). However, every number with a terminating decimal representation also ...

  4. Parts-per notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parts-per_notation

    In fractions like "2 nanometers per meter" (2 n m / m = 2 nano = 2×10 −9 = 2 ppb = 2 × 0.000 000 001), so the quotients are pure-number coefficients with positive values less than or equal to 1. When parts-per notations, including the percent symbol (%), are used in regular prose (as opposed to mathematical expressions), they are still pure ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guess_2/3_of_the_average

    In game theory, "guess ⁠ 2 / 3 of the average" is a game where players simultaneously select a real number between 0 and 100, inclusive. The winner of the game is the player(s) who select a number closest to ⁠ 2 / 3 of the average of numbers chosen by all players.

  6. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    The grade (US) or gradient (UK) (also called stepth, slope, incline, mainfall, pitch or rise) of a physical feature, landform or constructed line refers to the tangent of the angle of that surface to the horizontal. It is a special case of the slope, where zero indicates horizontality. A larger number indicates higher or steeper degree of "tilt".

    That's helped lower the inflation rate to its current level from a recent peak of 9.1% in June 2022, yet the last leg of the Fed's journey to push inflation down to a 2% annual rate is proving ...

  8. Square (algebra) - Wikipedia

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

    On the negative numbers, numbers with greater absolute value have greater squares, so the square is a monotonically decreasing function on (−∞,0]. Hence, zero is the (global) minimum of the square function. The square x 2 of a number x is less than x (that is x 2 < x) if and only if 0 < x < 1, that is, if x belongs to the open interval (0,1).
