  2. Geometric progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_progression

    Diagram illustrating three basic geometric sequences of the pattern 1(r n−1) up to 6 iterations deep.The first block is a unit block and the dashed line represents the infinite sum of the sequence, a number that it will forever approach but never touch: 2, 3/2, and 4/3 respectively.

  3. Geometric series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_series

    The geometric series is an infinite series derived from a special type of sequence called a geometric progression.This means that it is the sum of infinitely many terms of geometric progression: starting from the initial term , and the next one being the initial term multiplied by a constant number known as the common ratio .

  4. Arithmetico-geometric sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetico-geometric_sequence

    In general, these series with =, =, =, and = give the expectations of "the number of trials until first success" in Bernoulli processes with "success probability" . The probabilities of each outcome follow a geometric distribution and provide the geometric sequence factors in the terms of the series, while the number of trials per outcome ...

  5. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    Using the formula relating the general cubic and the associated depressed cubic, this implies that the discriminant of the general cubic can be written as (+). It follows that one of these two discriminants is zero if and only if the other is also zero, and, if the coefficients are real , the two discriminants have the same sign.

    Drivers race on the apron at Chicagoland Speedway (the area between the white and yellow lines). aero cover See wheel shroud. air jacks Pneumatic cylinders strategically mounted to the frame near the wheels of a racing car, which project downwards to lift the car off the ground during a pit stop to allow for quick tire changes or provide mechanics access to the underside of the car for repairs.

  7. Recurrence relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrence_relation

    In linear recurrences, the n th term is equated to a linear function of the previous terms. A famous example is the recurrence for the Fibonacci numbers , F n = F n − 1 + F n − 2 {\displaystyle F_{n}=F_{n-1}+F_{n-2}} where the order k {\displaystyle k} is two and the linear function merely adds the two previous terms.

  8. Law of tangents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_tangents

    In trigonometry, the law of tangents or tangent rule [1] is a statement about the relationship between the tangents of two angles of a triangle and the lengths of the opposing sides. In Figure 1, a , b , and c are the lengths of the three sides of the triangle, and α , β , and γ are the angles opposite those three respective sides.

  9. Newton–Cotes formulas - Wikipedia

    It is assumed that the value of a function f defined on [,] is known at + equally spaced points: < < <.There are two classes of Newton–Cotes quadrature: they are called "closed" when = and =, i.e. they use the function values at the interval endpoints, and "open" when > and <, i.e. they do not use the function values at the endpoints.
