    Second example: 87 x 11 = 957 because 8 + 7 = 15 so the 5 goes in between the 8 and the 7 and the 1 is carried to the 8. So it is basically 857 + 100 = 957. Or if 43 x 11 is equal to first 4+3=7 (For the tens digit) Then 4 is for the hundreds and 3 is for the tens.

    The resultant sign from multiplication when both are positive or one is positive and the other is negative can be illustrated so long as one uses the positive factor to give the cardinal value to the implied repeated addition or subtraction operation, or in other words, -5 x 2 = -5 + -5 = -10, or 10 ÷ -2 = 10 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 = 0 (the ...

    It is unknown whether these constants are transcendental in general, but Γ(⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠) and Γ(⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠) were shown to be transcendental by G. V. Chudnovsky. Γ(⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠) / 4 √ π has also long been known to be transcendental, and Yuri Nesterenko proved in 1996 that Γ(⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠), π, and e π are algebraically independent.

  5. nth root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nth_root

    If n is even, a complex number's nth roots, of which there are an even number, come in additive inverse pairs, so that if a number r 1 is one of the nth roots then r 2 = –r 1 is another. This is because raising the latter's coefficient –1 to the n th power for even n yields 1: that is, (– r 1 ) n = (–1) n × r 1 n = r 1 n .

    8 + (−3) = 8 − 3 = 5 and (−2) + 7 = 72 = 5. In the first example, a credit of 8 is combined with a debt of 3 , which yields a total credit of 5 . If the negative number has greater magnitude, then the result is negative:

    For instance, 299 792 458 m/s (the speed of light in vacuum, in metres per second) can be written as 2.997 924 58 × 10 8 m/s and then approximated as 2.998 × 10 8 m/s. SI prefixes based on powers of 10 are also used to describe small or large quantities. For example, the prefix kilo means 10 3 = 1000, so a kilometre is 1000 m.

    In 2017, it was proven [14] that there exists a unique function F which is a solution of the equation F(z + 1) = exp(F(z)) and satisfies the additional conditions that F(0) = 1 and F(z) approaches the fixed points of the logarithm (roughly 0.318 ± 1.337i) as z approaches ±i∞ and that F is holomorphic in the whole complex z-plane, except the ...

    In the case of two nested square roots, the following theorem completely solves the problem of denesting. [2]If a and c are rational numbers and c is not the square of a rational number, there are two rational numbers x and y such that + = if and only if is the square of a rational number d.
