  2. Extraneous and missing solutions - Wikipedia

    Therefore, the solution = is extraneous and not valid, and the original equation has no solution. For this specific example, it could be recognized that (for the value x = − 2 {\displaystyle x=-2} ), the operation of multiplying by ( x − 2 ) ( x + 2 ) {\displaystyle (x-2)(x+2)} would be a multiplication by zero.

  3. The misconception that sharks do not get cancer was spread by the 1992 book Sharks Don't Get Cancer, which was used to sell extracts of shark cartilage as cancer prevention treatments. Reports of carcinomas in sharks exist, and current data does not support any conclusions about the incidence of tumors in sharks. [74]

  4. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    When seeking a solution, one or more variables are designated as unknowns. A solution is an assignment of values to the unknown variables that makes the equality in the equation true. In other words, a solution is a value or a collection of values (one for each unknown) such that, when substituted for the unknowns, the equation becomes an equality.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    The following is a list of notable unsolved problems grouped into broad areas of physics. [1]Some of the major unsolved problems in physics are theoretical, meaning that existing theories seem incapable of explaining a certain observed phenomenon or experimental result.

  6. Solvated electron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvated_electron

    An electron's being solvated in a solution means it is bound by the solution. [2] The notation for a solvated electron in formulas of chemical reactions is "e − ". Often, discussions of solvated electrons focus on their solutions in ammonia, which are stable for days, but solvated electrons also occur in water and many other solvents – in ...

    where x = 7 is the solution to the problem, and x = -4 is an extraneous solution because it is not pertinent to the problem. Tparameter 17:46, 19 January 2008 (UTC) No, this is not a sutiable example of an extraneous solution. Since x = -4 can satisfly the equation x 2 - 3x + 5 = 0, only does not satisfly the domain that sets manually.

  8. Technological fix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_fix

    Renewable energy is one primary example of a technological fix, as it has been designed to combat the issues associated with climate change. A technological fix, technical fix, technological shortcut or (techno-)solutionism is an attempt to use engineering or technology to solve a problem (often created by earlier technological interventions).
