  2. Cancelling out - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancelling_out

    For example, a fraction is put in lowest terms by cancelling out the common factors of the numerator and the denominator. [2] As another example, if a×b=a×c, then the multiplicative term a can be canceled out if a≠0, resulting in the equivalent expression b=c; this is equivalent to dividing through by a.

  3. Root canal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_canal

    An unusual root canal shape, complex branching (especially the existence of horizontal branches), and multiple root canals are considered as the main causes of root canal treatment failures. (e.g. If a secondary root canal goes unnoticed by the dentist and is not cleaned and sealed, it will remain infected, causing the root canal therapy to fail).

  4. Rationalisation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In elementary algebra, root rationalisation (or rationalization) is a process by which radicals in the denominator of an algebraic fraction are eliminated.. If the denominator is a monomial in some radical, say , with k < n, rationalisation consists of multiplying the numerator and the denominator by , and replacing by x (this is allowed, as, by definition, a n th root of x is a number that ...

  5. Root locus analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_locus_analysis

    According to vector mathematics, the angle of the result of the rational polynomial is the sum of all the angles in the numerator minus the sum of all the angles in the denominator. So to test whether a point in the s-plane is on the root locus, only the angles to all the open loop poles and zeros need be considered. This is known as the angle ...

  6. Cross-multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-multiplication

    Cancel the common denominator bd = db, leaving =. Each step in these procedures is based on a single, fundamental property of equations. Cross-multiplication is a shortcut, an easily understandable procedure that can be taught to students.

  7. Clearing denominators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearing_denominators

    The first step is to determine a common denominator D of these fractions – preferably the least common denominator, which is the least common multiple of the Q i. This means that each Q i is a factor of D, so D = R i Q i for some expression R i that is not a fraction. Then

  8. Extraneous and missing solutions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraneous_and_missing...

    To begin solving, we multiply each side of the equation by the least common denominator of all the fractions contained in the equation. In this case, the least common denominator is () (+). After performing these operations, the fractions are eliminated, and the equation becomes:

  9. Root test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_test

    Decision diagram for the root test. The root test was developed first by Augustin-Louis Cauchy who published it in his textbook Cours d'analyse (1821). [1] Thus, it is sometimes known as the Cauchy root test or Cauchy's radical test. For a series = the root test uses the number
