    For 8-bit integers the table of quarter squares will have 2 91=511 entries (one entry for the full range 0..510 of possible sums, the differences using only the first 256 entries in range 0..255) or 2 91=511 entries (using for negative differences the technique of 2-complements and 9-bit masking, which avoids testing the sign of ...

  5. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    For example, the equation x + y = 2x – 1 is solved for the unknown x by the expression x = y + 1, because substituting y + 1 for x in the equation results in (y + 1) + y = 2(y + 1) – 1, a true statement. It is also possible to take the variable y to be the unknown, and then the equation is solved by y = x – 1.

  6. Trachtenberg system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachtenberg_system

    For the leading zero, subtract 1 from the neighbor. For rules 9, 8, 4, and 3 only the first digit is subtracted from 10. After that each digit is subtracted from nine instead. Example: 2,130 × 9 = 19,170 Working from right to left: (10 − 0) + 0 = 10. Write 0, carry 1. (9 − 3) + 0 + 1 (carried) = 7. Write 7. (91) + 3 = 11. Write 1 ...

    The "nine dots" puzzle. The puzzle asks to link all nine dots using four straight lines or fewer, without lifting the pen. The nine dots puzzle is a mathematical puzzle whose task is to connect nine squarely arranged points with a pen by four (or fewer) straight lines without lifting the pen or retracing any lines.

  8. How to Solve It - Wikipedia

    Pólya mentions that there are many reasonable ways to solve problems. [3] The skill at choosing an appropriate strategy is best learned by solving many problems. You will find choosing a strategy increasingly easy. A partial list of strategies is included: Guess and check [9] Make an orderly list [10] Eliminate possibilities [11] Use symmetry [12]

  9. Elementary algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_algebra

    The graph of the logarithm to base 2 crosses the x axis (horizontal axis) at 1 and passes through the points with coordinates (2, 1), (4, 2), and (8, 3). For example, log 2 (8) = 3, because 2 3 = 8. The graph gets arbitrarily close to the y axis, but does not meet or intersect it.
