  2. Irreducible fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreducible_fraction

    For example, ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠, ⁠ 5 / 6 ⁠, and ⁠ −101 / 100 ⁠ are all irreducible fractions. On the other hand, ⁠ 2 / 4 ⁠ is reducible since it is equal in value to ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, and the numerator of ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ is less than the numerator of ⁠ 2 / 4 ⁠. A fraction that is reducible can be reduced by dividing both the numerator ...

  3. 2 + 2 = 5 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_+_2_=_5

    As a theme and as a subject in the arts, the anti-intellectual slogan 2 + 2 = 5 pre-dates Orwell and has produced literature, such as Deux et deux font cinq (Two and Two Make Five), written in 1895 by Alphonse Allais, which is a collection of absurdist short stories; [1] and the 1920 imagist art manifesto 2 × 2 = 5 by the poet Vadim ...

  4. Empirical formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical_formula

    Glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6), ribose (C 5 H 10 O 5), Acetic acid (C 2 H 4 O 2), and formaldehyde (CH 2 O) all have different molecular formulas but the same empirical formula: CH 2 O.This is the actual molecular formula for formaldehyde, but acetic acid has double the number of atoms, ribose has five times the number of atoms, and glucose has six times the number of atoms.

  5. Elementary algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_algebra

    For example, log 2 (8) = 3, because 2 3 = 8. The graph gets arbitrarily close to the y axis, but does not meet or intersect it . An exponential equation is one which has the form a x = b {\displaystyle a^{x}=b} for a > 0 {\displaystyle a>0} , [ 43 ] which has solution

  6. Simple function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_function

    In the mathematical field of real analysis, a simple function is a real (or complex)-valued function over a subset of the real line, similar to a step function.Simple functions are sufficiently "nice" that using them makes mathematical reasoning, theory, and proof easier.

  7. Simple continued fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_continued_fraction

    The fractional part is the reciprocal of ⁠ 93 / 43 ⁠ which is about 2.1628. Use the integer part, 2, as an approximation for the reciprocal to obtain a second approximation of 4 + ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ = 4.5. Now, ⁠ 93 / 43 ⁠ = 2 + ⁠ 7 / 43 ⁠; the remaining fractional part, ⁠ 7 / 43 ⁠, is the reciprocal of ⁠ 43 / 7 ⁠, and ⁠ 43 / 7 ...

  8. Occam's razor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_razor

    In philosophy, Occam's razor (also spelled Ockham's razor or Ocham's razor; Latin: novacula Occami) is the problem-solving principle that recommends searching for explanations constructed with the smallest possible set of elements.

  9. Parent function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parent_function

    The concept of parent function is less clear or inapplicable polynomials of higher degree because of the extra turning points, but for the family of n-degree polynomial functions for any given n, the parent function is sometimes taken as x n, or, to simplify further, x 2 when n is even and x 3 for odd n. Turning points may be established by ...
