  2. Binomial approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_approximation

    The binomial approximation for the square root, + + /, can be applied for the following expression, + where and are real but .. The mathematical form for the binomial approximation can be recovered by factoring out the large term and recalling that a square root is the same as a power of one half.

  3. Binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_coefficient

    As there is zero X n+1 or X1 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.

    [1] [2] [3] [better source needed]. For example, ⁠ 3 x 22 x y + c {\displaystyle 3x^{2}-2xy+c} ⁠ is an algebraic expression. Since taking the square root is the same as raising to the power ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ , the following is also an algebraic expression:

  5. Simplification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplification

    Simplification is the process of replacing a mathematical expression by an equivalent one that is simpler (usually shorter), according to a well-founded ordering. Examples include: Simplification of algebraic expressions, in computer algebra; Simplification of boolean expressions i.e. logic optimization

  6. Clearing denominators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearing_denominators

    The simplified equation is not entirely equivalent to the original. For when we substitute y = 0 and z = 0 in the last equation, both sides simplify to 0, so we get 0 = 0, a mathematical truth. But the same substitution applied to the original equation results in x/6 + 0/0 = 1, which is mathematically meaningless.

  7. Equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation

    The solutions –1 and 2 of the polynomial equation x 2x + 2 = 0 are the points where the graph of the quadratic function y = x 2x + 2 cuts the x-axis. In general, an algebraic equation or polynomial equation is an equation of the form =, or = [a]

  8. Trigonometric substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_substitution

    In this case, an expression involving a radical function is replaced with a trigonometric one. Trigonometric identities may help simplify the answer. [1] [2] Like other methods of integration by substitution, when evaluating a definite integral, it may be simpler to completely deduce the antiderivative before applying the boundaries of integration.

  9. Conditioning (probability) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditioning_(probability)

    The points (x,y,z) of the sphere x 2 + y 2 + z 2 = 1, satisfying the condition x = 0.5, are a circle y 2 + z 2 = 0.75 of radius on the plane x = 0.5. The inequality y ≤ 0.75 holds on an arc. The length of the arc is 5/6 of the length of the circle, which is why the conditional probability is equal to 5/6.
