y = x 3 for values of 1 ≤ x ≤ 25.. In arithmetic and algebra, the cube of a number n is its third power, that is, the result of multiplying three instances of n together. The cube of a number or any other mathematical expression is denoted by a superscript 3, for example 2 3 = 8 or (x + 1) 3.
Eight-ball pool is played with a cue ball and 15 numbered balls, the black ball numbered eight being the middle and most important one, as the winner is the player or side that legally pockets it after first pocketing its numerical group of seven object balls (for other meanings see Eight ball (disambiguation)).
In mathematics, divided differences is an algorithm, historically used for computing tables of logarithms and trigonometric functions. [citation needed] Charles Babbage's difference engine, an early mechanical calculator, was designed to use this algorithm in its operation. [1] Divided differences is a recursive division process.
In the United Kingdom, full time equivalent equates to the standard 40-hour work week: eight hours per day, five days per week and is the total amount of hours that a single full-time employee has worked over any period. This allows employers to adopt a single metric for comparison with the full-time average.
Euclid's lemma — If a prime p divides the product ab of two integers a and b, then p must divide at least one of those integers a or b. For example, if p = 19 , a = 133 , b = 143 , then ab = 133 × 143 = 19019 , and since this is divisible by 19, the lemma implies that one or both of 133 or 143 must be as well.
The last register's complemented output is fed back to the first register's input. The output signal is derived from one or more of the register outputs. For example, a divide-by-6 divider can be constructed with a 3-register Johnson counter. The six valid values of the counter are 000, 100, 110, 111, 011, and 001.
The partial sums of the series 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + ⋯ are 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, etc.The nth partial sum is given by a simple formula: = = (+). This equation was known ...
