  2. Algebraic expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_expression

    When a coefficient is one, it is usually omitted (e.g. is written ). [6] Likewise when the exponent (power) is one, (e.g. 3 x 1 {\displaystyle 3x^{1}} is written 3 x {\displaystyle 3x} ), [ 7 ] and, when the exponent is zero, the result is always 1 (e.g. 3 x 0 {\displaystyle 3x^{0}} is written 3 {\displaystyle 3} , since x 0 {\displaystyle x^{0 ...

    () (using x0 to obtain the final inequality) so that: = One must use lim sup because it is not known if t n converges. For the other inequality, by the above expression for t n , if 2 ≤ m ≤ n , we have: 1 + x + x 2 2 !

  4. Expression (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expression_(mathematics)

    An algebraic expression is an expression built up from algebraic constants, variables, and the algebraic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and exponentiation by a rational number). [41] For example, 3x 2 − 2xy + c is an algebraic expression.

  5. Parabola - Wikipedia

    Its x coordinate is half that of D, that is, x/2. The slope of the line BE is the quotient of the lengths of ED and BD, which is ⁠ x 2 / x/2 ⁠ = 2x. But 2x is also the slope (first derivative) of the parabola at E. Therefore, the line BE is the tangent to the parabola at E.

  6. Taylor series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series

    The function e (−1/x 2) is not analytic at x = 0: the Taylor series is identically 0, although the function is not. If f ( x ) is given by a convergent power series in an open disk centred at b in the complex plane (or an interval in the real line), it is said to be analytic in this region.

  7. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    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.

  8. Elliptic curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve

    Graphs of curves y 2 = x 3 − x and y 2 = x 3 − x + 1. Although the formal definition of an elliptic curve requires some background in algebraic geometry, it is possible to describe some features of elliptic curves over the real numbers using only introductory algebra and geometry.

  9. Gauss–Seidel method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss–Seidel_method

    In numerical linear algebra, the Gauss–Seidel method, also known as the Liebmann method or the method of successive displacement, is an iterative method used to solve a system of linear equations.
