    The red cat and an ox mnemonics are useful to remember the same. Red cat: Reduction at cathode; An ox: Anode for oxidation. [32] PANIC : Positive Anode, Negative Is Cathode; The words oxidation and anode, both begin with vowels. Also, both reduction and cathode begin with consonants. [29] Fat Cat: electrons flow From Anode To Cathode

    The quadratic formula can equivalently be written using various alternative expressions, for instance = (), which can be derived by first dividing a quadratic equation by ⁠ ⁠, resulting in ⁠ + + = ⁠, then substituting the new coefficients into the standard quadratic formula.

  5. Quartal and quintal harmony - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartal_and_quintal_harmony

    The indifference of this rootless harmony to tonality places the burden of key verification upon the voice with the most active melodic line. [2] Quintal harmony (the harmonic layering of fifths specifically) is a lesser-used term, and since the fifth is the inversion or complement of the fourth, it is usually considered indistinct from quartal ...

  6. Quartic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_equation

    There exists a general formula for finding the roots to quartic equations, provided the coefficient of the leading term is non-zero. However, since the general method is quite complex and susceptible to errors in execution, it is better to apply one of the special cases listed below if possible.

  7. Mnemonics in trigonometry - Wikipedia

    Signs of trigonometric functions in each quadrant. All Students Take Calculus is a mnemonic for the sign of each trigonometric functions in each quadrant of the plane. The letters ASTC signify which of the trigonometric functions are positive, starting in the top right 1st quadrant and moving counterclockwise through quadrants 2 to 4.

  8. Completing the square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completing_the_square

    Given a quadratic polynomial of the form + + it is possible to factor out the coefficient a, and then complete the square for the resulting monic polynomial. Example: + + = [+ +] = [(+) +] = (+) + = (+) + This process of factoring out the coefficient a can further be simplified by only factorising it out of the first 2 terms.

    From the time of Plato, harmony was considered a fundamental branch of physics, now known as musical acoustics. Early Indian and Chinese theorists show similar approaches: all sought to show that the mathematical laws of harmonics and rhythms were fundamental not only to our understanding of the world but to human well-being.
