  2. Clearing denominators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearing_denominators

    The simplified equation is not entirely equivalent to the original. For when we substitute y = 0 and z = 0 in the last equation, both sides simplify to 0, so we get 0 = 0, a mathematical truth. But the same substitution applied to the original equation results in x/6 + 0/0 = 1, which is mathematically meaningless.

  3. 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.

  4. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    One particular solution is x = 0, y = 0, z = 0. Two other solutions are x = 3, y = 6, z = 1, and x = 8, y = 9, z = 2. There is a unique plane in three-dimensional space which passes through the three points with these coordinates, and this plane is the set of all points whose coordinates are solutions of the equation.

  5. Heaviside cover-up method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaviside_cover-up_method

    Set up a partial fraction for each factor in the denominator. With this framework we apply the cover-up rule to solve for A, B, and C. D 1 is x + 1; set it equal to zero. This gives the residue for A when x = −1. Next, substitute this value of x into the fractional expression, but without D 1. Put this value down as the value of A.

  6. Plastic ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_ratio

    In mathematics, the plastic ratio is a geometrical proportion close to 53/40.Its true value is the real solution of the equation x 3 = x + 1.. The adjective plastic does not refer to the artificial material, but to the formative and sculptural qualities of this ratio, as in plastic arts.

  7. Elementary algebra - Wikipedia

    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.

    With the loss, Georgia concludes its season with an 11-3 record. Meanwhile, Notre Dame now advances to the CFP Orange Bowl semifinals against No. 6 Penn State on Thursday, Jan. 9 at Hard Rock Stadium.

  9. Solving quadratic equations with continued fractions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solving_quadratic...

    Denoting the two roots by r 1 and r 2 we distinguish three cases. If the discriminant is zero the fraction converges to the single root of multiplicity two. If the discriminant is not zero, and |r 1 | ≠ |r 2 |, the continued fraction converges to the root of maximum modulus (i.e., to the root with the greater absolute value).
