    2. Equivalence class: given an equivalence relation, [] often denotes the equivalence class of the element x. 3. Integral part: if x is a real number, [] often denotes the integral part or truncation of x, that is, the integer obtained by removing all digits after the decimal mark.

  4. Quadratic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    The roots of the quadratic function y = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ x 2 − 3x + ⁠ 5 / 2 ⁠ are the places where the graph intersects the x-axis, the values x = 1 and x = 5. They can be found via the quadratic formula. In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a closed-form expression describing the solutions of a quadratic equation.

    The first three values of the expression x[5]2. The value of 3[5]2 is 7 625 597 484 987; values for higher x, such as 4[5]2, which is about 2.361 × 10 8.072 × 10 153 are much too large to appear on the graph. In mathematics, pentation (or hyper-5) is the fifth hyperoperation.

  6. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    For example, 3 5 = 3 · 3 · 3 · 3 · 3 = 243. The base 3 appears 5 times in the multiplication, because the exponent is 5. Here, 243 is the 5th power of 3, or 3 raised to the 5th power. The word "raised" is usually omitted, and sometimes "power" as well, so 3 5 can be simply read "3 to the 5th", or "3 to the 5".

  7. Bracket (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Terms inside the bracket are evaluated first; hence 2×(3 + 4) is 14, 20 ÷ (5(1 + 1)) is 2 and (2×3) + 4 is 10. This notation is extended to cover more general algebra involving variables: for example (x + y) × (x − y). Square brackets are also often used in place of a second set of parentheses when they are nested—so as to provide a ...

    For example, taking the statement x + 1 = 0, if x is substituted with 1, this implies 1 + 1 = 2 = 0, which is false, which implies that if x + 1 = 0 then x cannot be 1. If x and y are integers, rationals, or real numbers, then xy = 0 implies x = 0 or y = 0. Consider abc = 0. Then, substituting a for x and bc for y, we learn a = 0 or bc = 0.

  9. Expression (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    In the equation 7x − 5 = 2, the sides of the equation are expressions.. In mathematics, an expression is a written arrangement of symbols following the context-dependent, syntactic conventions of mathematical notation.
