  2. Completing the square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completing_the_square

    Since x 2 represents the area of a square with side of length x, and bx represents the area of a rectangle with sides b and x, the process of completing the square can be viewed as visual manipulation of rectangles. Simple attempts to combine the x 2 and the bx rectangles into a larger square

  3. Equating coefficients - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equating_coefficients

    The unique pair of values a, b satisfying the first two equations is (a, b) = (1, 1); since these values also satisfy the third equation, there do in fact exist a, b such that a times the original first equation plus b times the original second equation equals the original third equation; we conclude that the third equation is linearly ...

  4. Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_theorem_on_sums_of...

    If two primes which end in 3 or 7 and surpass by 3 a multiple of 4 are multiplied, then their product will be composed of a square and the quintuple of another square. In other words, if p, q are of the form 20k + 3 or 20k + 7, then pq = x 2 + 5y 2. Euler later extended this to the conjecture that

  5. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    The solution set for the equations x − y = −1 and 3x + y = 9 is the single point (2, 3). A solution of a linear system is an assignment of values to the variables ,, …, such that each of the equations is satisfied. The set of all possible solutions is called the solution set. [5]

  6. Linear equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

    Two graphs of linear equations in two variables. In mathematics, a linear equation is an equation that may be put in the form + … + + =, where , …, are the variables (or unknowns), and ,, …, are the coefficients, which are often real numbers.

  7. Third derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_derivative

    In physics, particularly kinematics, jerk is defined as the third derivative of the position function of an object. It is, essentially, the rate at which acceleration changes.

  8. Congruence of squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_of_squares

    This corresponds to a set of y values whose product is a square number, i.e. one whose factorization has only even exponents. The products of x and y values together form a congruence of squares. This is a classic system of linear equations problem, and can be efficiently solved using Gaussian elimination as soon as the number of rows exceeds ...

  9. Dual linear program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_linear_program

    The maximum is 4 ⋅ 7/6 = 14/3. Similarly, the minimum of the dual LP is attained when y 1 is minimized to its lower bound under the constraints: the first constraint gives a lower bound of 3/5 while the second constraint gives a stricter lower bound of 4/6, so the actual lower bound is 4/6 and the minimum is 7 ⋅ 4/6 = 14/3.
