are solved using cross-multiplication, since the missing b term is implicitly equal to 1: =. Any equation containing fractions or rational expressions can be simplified by multiplying both sides by the least common denominator. This step is called clearing fractions.
If geometric algebra is used the cross product b × c of vectors is expressed as their exterior product b∧c, a bivector. The second cross product cannot be expressed as an exterior product, otherwise the scalar triple product would result. Instead a left contraction [6] can be used, so the formula becomes [7]
Common fractions are used most often when the denominator is relatively small. By mental calculation, it is easier to multiply 16 by 3/16 than to do the same calculation using the fraction's decimal equivalent (0.1875). And it is more accurate to multiply 15 by 1/3, for example, than it is to multiply 15 by any decimal approximation of one ...
3. These events/activities are related to a global athletic competition (hint: it takes place every four years). 4. All of these words precede a common five-letter noun.
MINEOLA, N.Y. — A Republican official who oversees Nassau County on New York's Long Island has seemingly refused to lower flags to half-staff in memory of the late Democratic President Jimmy ...
Multiplication symbols are usually omitted, and implied, when there is no operator between two variables or terms, or when a coefficient is used. For example, 3 × x 2 is written as 3x 2, and 2 × x × y is written as 2xy. [5] Sometimes, multiplication symbols are replaced with either a dot or center-dot, so that x × y is written as either x ...
This is the second time Williams has had to forfeit a chunk of his salary for a touchdown celebration this season. In Week 4, he topped off a 70-yard scamper by dunking the ball over the crossbar ...
From January 2008 to April 2008, if you bought shares in companies when Juergen Dormann joined the board, and sold them when he left, you would have a 12.7 percent return on your investment, compared to a -5.3 percent return from the S&P 500.
