  2. Square (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_(algebra)

    The square of an integer may also be called a square number or a perfect square. In algebra, the operation of squaring is often generalized to polynomials, other expressions, or values in systems of mathematical values other than the numbers. For instance, the square of the linear polynomial x + 1 is the quadratic polynomial (x + 1) 2 = x 2 ...

  3. Quadratic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_function

    () = + is called the vertex form, where h and k are the x and y coordinates of the vertex, respectively. The coefficient a is the same value in all three forms. To convert the standard form to factored form , one needs only the quadratic formula to determine the two roots r 1 and r 2 .

  4. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    Because (a + 1) 2 = a, a + 1 is the unique solution of the quadratic equation x 2 + a = 0. On the other hand, the polynomial x 2 + ax + 1 is irreducible over F 4, but it splits over F 16, where it has the two roots ab and ab + a, where b is a root of x 2 + x + a in F 16. This is a special case of Artin–Schreier theory.

  5. Quadratic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    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.

  6. Square number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_number

    Square number 16 as sum of gnomons. In mathematics, a square number or perfect square is an integer that is the square of an integer; [1] in other words, it is the product of some integer with itself. For example, 9 is a square number, since it equals 3 2 and can be written as 3 × 3.

  7. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    The expression b 2 = b · b is called "the square of b" or "b squared", because the area of a square with side-length b is b 2. (It is true that it could also be called "b to the second power", but "the square of b" and "b squared" are more traditional)

    Why is X still called Twitter? Saira Mueller, CNN. February 23, 2024 at 4:00 PM. In the early hours of July 23, 2023, Twitter — the self-proclaimed digital town square — became X. Or did it?

  9. Completing the square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completing_the_square

    This is called completing the square. General description. Given any monic quadratic + +, it is ... = x 2 is a parabola whose vertex is at the origin (0, 0).
