Symbolab is an answer engine [1] that provides step-by-step solutions to mathematical problems in a range of subjects. [2] It was originally developed by Israeli start-up company EqsQuest Ltd., under whom it was released for public use in 2011. In 2020, the company was acquired by American educational technology website Course Hero. [3] [4]
−1: If the subtraction button − is pressed after the multiplication ×, it is interpreted as a correction of the × rather than a minus sign, so that 4 − 5 is calculated. 20: If the change-sign button ± is pressed before the 5, it isn't interpreted as −5, and 4 × 5 is calculated.
Photomath is an educational technology mobile app, owned by Google.It features a computer algebra system with an augmented optical character recognition system, designed for use with a smartphone's camera to scan and recognize mathematical equations; the app then displays step-by-step explanations onscreen.
[1] [2] Fractions are collected based on differences in a specific property of the individual components. A common trait in fractionations is the need to find an optimum between the amount of fractions collected and the desired purity in each fraction. Fractionation makes it possible to isolate more than two components in a mixture in a single run.
It was the first calculator that could perform all four basic arithmetic operations. [3] Its intricate precision gearwork, however, was somewhat beyond the fabrication technology of the time; mechanical problems, in addition to a design flaw in the carry mechanism, prevented the machines from working reliably.

For example, the number 45 in scientific notation is 4.5 × 10 1, but one will call it a × 10 b. Next, find the logarithm of a, which is between 1 and 10. Start by finding the logarithm of 4, which is .60, and then the logarithm of 5, which is .70 because 4.5 is between these two.
Nevertheless, it is seen as a usefully explicit method to introduce the idea of multiple-digit multiplications; and, in an age when most multiplication calculations are done using a calculator or a spreadsheet, it may in practice be the only multiplication algorithm that some students will ever need.
L'Algebra by Rafael Bombelli: frontispiece of the Bologna edition of 1579. Rafael Bombelli (baptised on 20 January 1526; died 1572) [a] [1] [2] was an Italian mathematician.Born in Bologna, he is the author of a treatise on algebra and is a central figure in the understanding of imaginary numbers.
