    From top to bottom: x 1/8, x 1/4, x 1/2, x 1, x 2, x 4, x 8. If x is a nonnegative real number, and n is a positive integer, / or denotes the unique nonnegative real n th root of x, that is, the unique nonnegative real number y such that =.

    Indeed, multiplying each equation of the second auxiliary system by , adding with the corresponding equation of the first auxiliary system and using the representation = +, we immediately see that equations number 2 through n of the original system are satisfied; it only remains to satisfy equation number 1.

  4. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    [2] [3] Thus, in the expression 1 + 2 × 3, the multiplication is performed before addition, and the expression has the value 1 + (2 × 3) = 7, and not (1 + 2) × 3 = 9. When exponents were introduced in the 16th and 17th centuries, they were given precedence over both addition and multiplication and placed as a superscript to the right of ...

    In the specific Gödel numbering used by Nagel and Newman, the Gödel number for the symbol "0" is 6 and the Gödel number for the symbol "=" is 5. Thus, in their system, the Gödel number of the formula "0 = 0" is 2 6 × 3 5 × 5 6 = 243,000,000.

    For example, antiderivatives of x 2 + 1 have the form ⁠ 1 / 3x 3 + x + c. For polynomials whose coefficients come from more abstract settings (for example, if the coefficients are integers modulo some prime number p , or elements of an arbitrary ring), the formula for the derivative can still be interpreted formally, with the coefficient ...

    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.

    According to the figure, a bull week is followed by another bull week 90% of the time, a bear week 7.5% of the time, and a stagnant week the other 2.5% of the time. Labeling the state space {1 = bull, 2 = bear, 3 = stagnant} the transition matrix for this example is

  9. Unary numeral system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unary_numeral_system

    The unary numeral system is the simplest numeral system to represent natural numbers: [1] to represent a number N, a symbol representing 1 is repeated N times. [2]In the unary system, the number 0 (zero) is represented by the empty string, that is, the absence of a symbol.
