  2. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    [6] [7] [a] The parentheses can be omitted if the input is a single numerical variable or constant, [2] as in the case of sin x = sin(x) and sin π = sin(π). [a] Traditionally this convention extends to monomials; thus, sin 3x = sin(3x) and even sin ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ xy = sin(xy/2), but sin x + y = sin(x) + y, because x + y is not a monomial ...

    For helping students in remembering the rules in adding and multiplying two signed numbers, Balbuena and Buayan (2015) made the letter strategies LAUS (like signs, add; unlike signs, subtract) and LPUN (like signs, positive; unlike signs, negative), respectively.

    It should be 100% clear what to do with operations on same level. This rule which is important is not described in the article. And not, this rules do not change, no matter if it is grade-school or pure-math papers. Whatever. The rule for what needs to be done on same level is missing here.

  5. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    In mathematics, exponentiation, denoted b n, is an operation involving two numbers: the base, b, and the exponent or power, n. [1] When n is a positive integer, exponentiation corresponds to repeated multiplication of the base: that is, b n is the product of multiplying n bases: [1] = ⏟.

    Solving for , = = = = = Thus, the power rule applies for rational exponents of the form /, where is a nonzero natural number. This can be generalized to rational exponents of the form p / q {\displaystyle p/q} by applying the power rule for integer exponents using the chain rule, as shown in the next step.

  7. Tetration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetration

    There is no standard notation for tetration, though Knuth's up arrow notation and the left-exponent are common. Under the definition as repeated exponentiation, n a {\displaystyle {^{n}a}} means a a ⋅ ⋅ a {\displaystyle {a^{a^{\cdot ^{\cdot ^{a}}}}}} , where n copies of a are iterated via exponentiation, right-to-left, i.e. the application ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth's_up-arrow_notation

    In mathematics, Knuth's up-arrow notation is a method of notation for very large integers, introduced by Donald Knuth in 1976. [1]In his 1947 paper, [2] R. L. Goodstein introduced the specific sequence of operations that are now called hyperoperations.

  9. High availability - Wikipedia

    A simple mnemonic rule states that 5 nines allows approximately 5 minutes of downtime per year. Variants can be derived by multiplying or dividing by 10: 4 nines is 50 minutes and 3 nines is 500 minutes. In the opposite direction, 6 nines is 0.5 minutes (30 sec) and 7 nines is 3 seconds.
