    In mathematics, a quadratic equation is a polynomial equation of the second degree. The general form is + + =, where a ≠ 0. The quadratic equation on a number can be solved using the well-known quadratic formula, which can be derived by completing the square.

    Many mathematical problems have been stated but not yet solved. These problems come from many areas of mathematics, such as theoretical physics, computer science, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic, differential, discrete and Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations.

    But if is substituted for in the original equation, the result is the invalid equation =. This counterintuitive result occurs because in the case where x = 0 {\displaystyle x=0} , multiplying both sides by x {\displaystyle x} multiplies both sides by zero, and so necessarily produces a true equation just as in the first example.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

    A simple fraction (also known as a common fraction or vulgar fraction) [n 1] is a rational number written as a/b or ⁠ ⁠, where a and b are both integers. [9] As with other fractions, the denominator (b) cannot be zero. Examples include ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, − ⁠ 8 / 5 ⁠, ⁠ −8 / 5 ⁠, and ⁠ 8 / −5 ⁠.

  8. Partial fraction decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_fraction_decomposition

    In algebra, the partial fraction decomposition or partial fraction expansion of a rational fraction (that is, a fraction such that the numerator and the denominator are both polynomials) is an operation that consists of expressing the fraction as a sum of a polynomial (possibly zero) and one or several fractions with a simpler denominator. [1]
