  2. Cancelling out - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancelling_out

    For example, a fraction is put in lowest terms by cancelling out the common factors of the numerator and the denominator. [2] As another example, if a×b=a×c, then the multiplicative term a can be canceled out if a≠0, resulting in the equivalent expression b=c; this is equivalent to dividing through by a.

    The code for the math example reads: <math display= "inline" > \sum_{i=0}^\infty 2^{-i} </math> The quotation marks around inline are optional and display=inline is also valid. [2] Technically, the command \textstyle will be added to the user input before the TeX command is passed to the renderer. The result will be displayed without further ...

  4. Root system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_system

    The rank of a root system Φ is the dimension of E. Two root systems may be combined by regarding the Euclidean spaces they span as mutually orthogonal subspaces of a common Euclidean space. A root system which does not arise from such a combination, such as the systems A 2, B 2, and G 2 pictured to the right, is said to be irreducible.

  5. Rationalisation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In elementary algebra, root rationalisation (or rationalization) is a process by which radicals in the denominator of an algebraic fraction are eliminated.. If the denominator is a monomial in some radical, say , with k < n, rationalisation consists of multiplying the numerator and the denominator by , and replacing by x (this is allowed, as, by definition, a n th root of x is a number that ...

    √ (square-root symbol) Denotes square root and is read as the square root of. Rarely used in modern mathematics without a horizontal bar delimiting the width of its argument (see the next item). For example, √2. √ (radical symbol) 1. Denotes square root and is read as the square root of.

    Arial is probably the best to use because its simple lines come out well when the image is rasterised. It’s better not to use annotation to give a diagram a title. Put the diagram inside a table and use the table caption to do it. That way it can easily be changed. Do not be tempted to use the WordArt button next to the text button. WordArt ...

  8. Reduction (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In linear algebra, reduction refers to applying simple rules to a series of equations or matrices to change them into a simpler form. In the case of matrices, the process involves manipulating either the rows or the columns of the matrix and so is usually referred to as row-reduction or column-reduction, respectively.

  9. Clearing denominators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearing_denominators

    The first step is to determine a common denominator D of these fractions – preferably the least common denominator, which is the least common multiple of the Q i. This means that each Q i is a factor of D, so D = R i Q i for some expression R i that is not a fraction. Then
