for every vector x in R 3. The cross product with n therefore describes the infinitesimal generator of the rotations about n. These infinitesimal generators form the Lie algebra so(3) of the rotation group SO(3), and we obtain the result that the Lie algebra R 3 with cross product is isomorphic to the Lie algebra so(3).
For solving the cubic equation x 3 + m 2 x = n where n > 0, Omar Khayyám constructed the parabola y = x 2 /m, the circle that has as a diameter the line segment [0, n/m 2] on the positive x-axis, and a vertical line through the point where the circle and the parabola intersect above the x-axis.
In mathematics, a product is the result of multiplication, or an expression that identifies objects (numbers or variables) to be multiplied, called factors.For example, 21 is the product of 3 and 7 (the result of multiplication), and (+) is the product of and (+) (indicating that the two factors should be multiplied together).
An example of using Newton–Raphson method to solve numerically the equation f(x) = 0. In mathematics, to solve an equation is to find its solutions, which are the values (numbers, functions, sets, etc.) that fulfill the condition stated by the equation, consisting generally of two expressions related by an equals sign.
If P(x) has a rational root r, then P(x) is the product of x − r by a cubic polynomial in Q[x], which can be determined by polynomial long division or by Ruffini's rule. If there is a rational number α ≠ 0 such that α 2 is a root of R 3 (y), it was shown above how to express P(x) as the product of two quadratic polynomials in Q[x].
A product distribution is a probability distribution constructed as the distribution of the product of random variables having two other known distributions. Given two statistically independent random variables X and Y, the distribution of the random variable Z that is formed as the product = is a product distribution.

Here, 3 (the multiplier) and 4 (the multiplicand) are the factors, and 12 is the product. One of the main properties of multiplication is the commutative property, which states in this case that adding 3 copies of 4 gives the same result as adding 4 copies of 3: = + + + =
