  2. Cramer's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cramer's_rule

    In the 2×2 case, if the coefficient determinant is zero, then the system is inconsistent if the numerator determinants are nonzero, or indeterminate if the numerator determinants are zero. For 3×3 or higher systems, the only thing one can say when the coefficient determinant equals zero is that if any of the numerator determinants are nonzero ...

  3. Algebraic closure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_closure

    In the same way, an extension K 2 of K 1 can be constructed, etc. The union of all these extensions is the algebraic closure of K , because any polynomial with coefficients in this new field has its coefficients in some K n with sufficiently large n , and then its roots are in K n +1 , and hence in the union itself.

  4. AM–GM inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AM–GM_inequality

    In two dimensions, 2x 1 + 2x 2 is the perimeter of a rectangle with sides of length x 1 and x 2. Similarly, 4 √ x 1 x 2 is the perimeter of a square with the same area, x 1 x 2, as that rectangle. Thus for n = 2 the AM–GM inequality states that a rectangle of a given area has the smallest perimeter if that rectangle is also a square.

  5. Triangle inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_inequality

    For example, the fact that any convergent sequence in a metric space is a Cauchy sequence is a direct consequence of the triangle inequality, because if we choose any x n and x m such that d(x n, x) < ε/2 and d(x m, x) < ε/2, where ε > 0 is given and arbitrary (as in the definition of a limit in a metric space), then by the triangle ...

    If X is a nonnegative random variable and a > 0, and U is a uniformly distributed random variable on [,] that is independent of X, then [4] ⁡ ⁡ (). Since U is almost surely smaller than one, this bound is strictly stronger than Markov's inequality.

    Located in Washington D.C., the Kennedy Center oversees the National Symphony Orchestra and Washington National Opera, welcoming over 2 million visitors each year for about 2,000 performances.

  8. 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.

    Chromosome 10 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 10 spans about 134 million base pairs (the building material of DNA ) and represents between 4 and 4.5 percent of the total DNA in cells .
