  2. Equality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equality_(mathematics)

    The equals sign, used to represent equality symbolically in an equation. In mathematics, equality is a relationship between two quantities or expressions, stating that they have the same value, or represent the same mathematical object. [1] [2] Equality between A and B is written A = B, and pronounced "A equals B".

    or, after expansion and collecting terms with equal powers of x: ( A + B + C ) x 2 − ( 3 A + 2 B + C ) x + 2 A = 1. {\displaystyle (A+B+C)x^{2}-(3A+2B+C)x+2A=1.\,} At this point it is essential to realize that the polynomial 1 is in fact equal to the polynomial 0 x 2 + 0 x + 1, having zero coefficients for the positive powers of x .

  4. Equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation

    In mathematics, an equation is a mathematical formula that expresses the equality of two expressions, by connecting them with the equals sign =. [2] [3] The word equation and its cognates in other languages may have subtly different meanings; for example, in French an équation is defined as containing one or more variables, while in English ...

    1 + 2 = 3, 3 + 3 = 6, 6 + 4 = 10, 10 + 5 = 15. This difficulty results from subtly different uses of the sign in education. In early, arithmetic-focused grades, the equal sign may be operational ; like the equal button on an electronic calculator, it demands the result of a calculation.

    The first four partial sums of the series 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ⋯.The parabola is their smoothed asymptote; its y-intercept is −1/12. [1]The infinite series whose terms ...

  7. Quadratic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    The roots of the quadratic function y = ⁠ 1 / 2x 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.

    For example, let a denote a multiplicative generator of the group of units of F 4, the Galois field of order four (thus a and a + 1 are roots of x 2 + x + 1 over F 4. 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 ...

    For example, when d=4, the hash table for two occurrences of d would contain the key-value pair 8 and 4+4, and the one for three occurrences, the key-value pair 2 and (4+4)/4 (strings shown in bold). The task is then reduced to recursively computing these hash tables for increasing n , starting from n=1 and continuing up to e.g. n=4.
