    The teacher marking the student's answer incorrect, saying, "That is not possible because 5/6 is greater than 4/6 so Luis ate more." Redditors were quick to respond with their disapproval ...

  3. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    For most students, factoring by inspection is the first method of solving quadratic equations to which they are exposed. [ 6 ] : 202–207 If one is given a quadratic equation in the form x 2 + bx + c = 0 , the sought factorization has the form ( x + q )( x + s ) , and one has to find two numbers q and s that add up to b and whose product is c ...

  4. Quadratic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    A similar but more complicated method works for cubic equations, which have three resolvents and a quadratic equation (the "resolving polynomial") relating ⁠ ⁠ and ⁠ ⁠, which one can solve by the quadratic equation, and similarly for a quartic equation (degree 4), whose resolving polynomial is a cubic, which can in turn be solved. [14]

    78 of the 156 possible friends-strangers graphs with 6 nodes. The other 78 can be obtained by reversing the red and blue colours of each graph. For each graph the red/blue nodes shows a sample triplet of mutual friends/strangers. The theorem on friends and strangers is a mathematical theorem in an area of mathematics called Ramsey theory.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_function

    In mathematics, a quadratic function of a single variable is a function of the form [1] = + +,,where ⁠ ⁠ is its variable, and ⁠ ⁠, ⁠ ⁠, and ⁠ ⁠ are coefficients.The expression ⁠ + + ⁠, especially when treated as an object in itself rather than as a function, is a quadratic polynomial, a polynomial of degree two.

  7. Solving quadratic equations with continued fractions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solving_quadratic...

    The quadratic equation on a number can be solved using the well-known quadratic formula, which can be derived by completing the square. That formula always gives the roots of the quadratic equation, but the solutions are expressed in a form that often involves a quadratic irrational number, which is an algebraic fraction that can be evaluated ...

  8. Quadratic form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_form

    Sylvester's law of inertia states that the numbers of each 0, 1, and −1 are invariants of the quadratic form, in the sense that any other diagonalization will contain the same number of each. The signature of the quadratic form is the triple ( n 0 , n + , n − ) , where these components count the number of 0s, number of 1s, and the number of ...

  9. Hilbert's problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_problems

    Problems 1, 2, 5, 6, [g] 9, 11, 12, 15, 21, and 22 have solutions that have partial acceptance, but there exists some controversy as to whether they resolve the problems. That leaves 8 (the Riemann hypothesis), 13 and 16 [h] unresolved, and 4 and 23 as too vague to ever be described as solved. The withdrawn 24 would also be in this class.
