  2. 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.

    The graph of the logarithm to base 2 crosses the x axis (horizontal axis) at 1 and passes through the points with coordinates (2, 1), (4, 2), and (8, 3). For example, log 2 (8) = 3, because 2 3 = 8. The graph gets arbitrarily close to the y axis, but does not meet or intersect it.

    For example, antiderivatives of x 2 + 1 have the form ⁠ 1 / 3x 3 + x + c. For polynomials whose coefficients come from more abstract settings (for example, if the coefficients are integers modulo some prime number p , or elements of an arbitrary ring), the formula for the derivative can still be interpreted formally, with the coefficient ...

  5. Degree of a polynomial - Wikipedia

    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.

  6. Algebraic number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_number

    This polynomial is irreducible over the rationals and so the three cosines are conjugate algebraic numbers. Likewise, tan ⁠ 3 π / 16 ⁠, tan ⁠ 7 π / 16 ⁠, tan ⁠ 11 π / 16 ⁠, and tan ⁠ 15 π / 16 ⁠ satisfy the irreducible polynomial x 4 − 4x 3 − 6x 2 + 4x + 1 = 0, and so are conjugate algebraic integers. This is the ...

    1. If y is a variable that depends on x, then , read as "d y over d x" (commonly shortened to "d y d x"), is the derivative of y with respect to x. 2. If f is a function of a single variable x, then is the derivative of f, and is the value of the derivative at a. 3.

  9. Polynomial expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_expansion

    In mathematics, an expansion of a product of sums expresses it as a sum of products by using the fact that multiplication distributes over addition. Expansion of a polynomial expression can be obtained by repeatedly replacing subexpressions that multiply two other subexpressions, at least one of which is an addition, by the equivalent sum of products, continuing until the expression becomes a ...
