  2. Proofs of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofs_of_trigonometric...

    The proofs given in this article use these definitions, and thus apply to non-negative angles not greater than a right angle. For greater and negative angles , see Trigonometric functions . Other definitions, and therefore other proofs are based on the Taylor series of sine and cosine , or on the differential equation f ″ + f = 0 ...

  3. Degree of a polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_a_polynomial

    Then, f(x)g(x) = 4x 2 + 4x + 1 = 1. Thus deg(f⋅g) = 0 which is not greater than the degrees of f and g (which each had degree 1). Since the norm function is not defined for the zero element of the ring, we consider the degree of the polynomial f(x) = 0 to also be undefined so that it follows the rules of a norm in a Euclidean domain.

  4. Polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial

    A number a is a root of a polynomial P if and only if the linear polynomial x − a divides P, that is if there is another polynomial Q such that P = (x − a) Q. It may happen that a power (greater than 1) of x − a divides P; in this case, a is a multiple root of P, and otherwise a is a simple root of P.

  5. List of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_trigonometric...

    A formula for computing the trigonometric identities for the one-third angle exists, but it requires finding the zeroes of the cubic equation 4x 3 − 3x + d = 0, where is the value of the cosine function at the one-third angle and d is the known value of the cosine function at the full angle.

  6. Lagrange's theorem (number theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange's_theorem_(number...

    If p is not prime, then there can potentially be more than deg f(x) solutions. Consider for example p=8 and the polynomial f(x)=x 2 -1 , where 1, 3, 5, 7 are all solutions. Proof

  7. Vacuous truth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuous_truth

    These examples, one from mathematics and one from natural language, illustrate the concept of vacuous truths: "For any integer x, if x > 5 then x > 3." [11] – This statement is true non-vacuously (since some integers are indeed greater than 5), but some of its implications are only vacuously true: for example, when x is the integer 2, the statement implies the vacuous truth that "if 2 > 5 ...

  8. Exact trigonometric values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_trigonometric_values

    Since two of the angles in an isosceles triangle are equal, if the remaining angle is 90° for a right triangle, then the two equal angles are each 45°. Then by the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the hypotenuse of such a triangle is 2 {\displaystyle {\sqrt {2}}} .

  9. Arithmetic–geometric mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic–geometric_mean

    (They are strictly between when xy.) The geometric mean of two positive numbers is never greater than the arithmetic mean. [3] So the geometric means are an increasing sequence g 0 ≤ g 1 ≤ g 2 ≤ ...; the arithmetic means are a decreasing sequence a 0 ≥ a 1 ≥ a 2 ≥ ...; and g n ≤ M(x, y) ≤ a n for any n. These are strict ...
