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 =.
For each integer n > 2, the function n x is defined and increasing for x ≥ 1, and n 1 = 1, so that the n th super-root of x, , exists for x ≥ 1. However, if the linear approximation above is used, then = + if −1 < y ≤ 0, so + cannot exist.
The only known powers of 2 with all digits even are 2 1 = 2, 2 2 = 4, 2 3 = 8, 2 6 = 64 and 2 11 = 2048. [12] The first 3 powers of 2 with all but last digit odd is 2 4 = 16, 2 5 = 32 and 2 9 = 512. The next such power of 2 of form 2 n should have n of at least 6 digits.
For example, given b = 5, e = 3 and m = 13, dividing 5 3 = 125 by 13 leaves a remainder of c = 8. Modular exponentiation can be performed with a negative exponent e by finding the modular multiplicative inverse d of b modulo m using the extended Euclidean algorithm. That is: c = b e mod m = d −e mod m, where e < 0 and b ⋅ d ≡ 1 (mod m).
In general, the following identity holds for all non-negative integers m and n, = = + . This is structurally identical to the property of exponentiation that a m a n = a m + n.. In general, for arbitrary general (negative, non-integer, etc.) indices m and n, this relation is called the translation functional equation, cf. Schröder's equation and Abel equation.
The minus sign "−" signifies the operator for both the binary (two-operand) operation of subtraction (as in y − z) and the unary (one-operand) operation of negation (as in −x, or twice in −(−x)). A special case of unary negation occurs when it operates on a positive number, in which case the result is a negative number (as in −5).
We need not raise or lower all indices at once: it is perfectly fine to raise or lower a single index. Lowering an index of an ( r , s ) {\displaystyle (r,s)} tensor gives a ( r − 1 , s + 1 ) {\displaystyle (r-1,s+1)} tensor, while raising an index gives a ( r + 1 , s − 1 ) {\displaystyle (r+1,s-1)} (where r , s {\displaystyle r,s} have ...
The roots of the quadratic function y = 1 / 2 x 2 − 3x + 5 / 2 are the places where the graph intersects the x-axis, the values x = 1 and x = 5. They can be found via the quadratic formula. In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a closed-form expression describing the solutions of a quadratic equation.
