  2. Calculator - Wikipedia

    Also, some fractions (such as 1 ⁄ 7, which is 0.14285714285714; to 14 significant figures) can be difficult to recognize in decimal form; as a result, many scientific calculators are able to work in vulgar fractions or mixed numbers.

  3. Binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_coefficient

    As there is zero X n+1 or X −1 in (1 + X) n, one might extend the definition beyond the above boundaries to include () = when either k > n or k < 0. This recursive formula then allows the construction of Pascal's triangle , surrounded by white spaces where the zeros, or the trivial coefficients, would be.

  4. Decimal floating point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_floating_point

    The IEEE 754-2008 standard defines 32-, 64- and 128-bit decimal floating-point representations. Like the binary floating-point formats, the number is divided into a sign, an exponent, and a significand.

    An expression like 1/2x is interpreted as 1/(2x) by TI-82, [3] as well as many modern Casio calculators [36] (configurable on some like the fx-9750GIII), but as (1/2)x by TI-83 and every other TI calculator released since 1996, [37] [3] as well as by all Hewlett-Packard calculators with algebraic notation.

  6. Slide rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule

    Quadratic equations of the form + + = can be solved by first reducing the equation to the form + = (where = / and = /), and then aligning the index ("1") of the C scale to the value on the D scale. The cursor is then moved along the rule until a position is found where the numbers on the CI and D scales add up to p {\displaystyle p} .

  7. Binary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

    In fact, the only binary fractions with terminating expansions are of the form of an integer divided by a power of 2, which 1/10 is not. The final conversion is from binary to decimal fractions. The only difficulty arises with repeating fractions, but otherwise the method is to shift the fraction to an integer, convert it as above, and then ...

    Yellow: radiation between 3.8 and 19 microsieverts per hour. This corresponds to less than a chest X-ray to 3 chest X-rays. This is the threshold to designate an area an evacuation zone. The yellow area extended far beyond the evacuation zone already put into place. Light green: radiation between 0.5 and one microsieverts per hour.

    The Apple Computer 1 (Apple-1 [a]), later known predominantly as the Apple I (written with a Roman numeral), [b] is an 8-bit motherboard-only personal computer designed by Steve Wozniak [5] [6] and released by the Apple Computer Company (now Apple Inc.) in 1976.
