  2. Clearing denominators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearing_denominators

    The simplified equation is not entirely equivalent to the original. For when we substitute y = 0 and z = 0 in the last equation, both sides simplify to 0, so we get 0 = 0, a mathematical truth. But the same substitution applied to the original equation results in x/6 + 0/0 = 1, which is mathematically meaningless.

  3. Irreducible fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreducible_fraction

    In the case of the rational numbers this means that any number has two irreducible fractions, related by a change of sign of both numerator and denominator; this ambiguity can be removed by requiring the denominator to be positive. In the case of rational functions the denominator could similarly be required to be a monic polynomial. [8]

  4. Rational function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_function

    In mathematics, a rational function is any function that can be defined by a rational fraction, which is an algebraic fraction such that both the numerator and the denominator are polynomials. The coefficients of the polynomials need not be rational numbers ; they may be taken in any field K .

  5. Rational expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_expression

    Rational expression may refer to: A mathematical expression that may be rewritten to a rational fraction , an algebraic fraction such that both the numerator and the denominator are polynomials. A regular expression , also known as rational expression, used in formal language theory (computer science)

  6. Algebraic fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_fraction

    An expression which is not in fractional form is an integral expression. An integral expression can always be written in fractional form by giving it the denominator 1. A mixed expression is the algebraic sum of one or more integral expressions and one or more fractional terms.

  7. QuickCheck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickCheck

    Once such a test case is found, QuickCheck tries to reduce it to a minimal failing subset by removing or simplifying input data that are unneeded to make the test fail. The project began in 1999. Besides being used to test regular programs, QuickCheck is also useful for building up a functional specification , for documenting what functions ...

  8. Regular expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

    A regular expression (shortened as regex or regexp), [1] sometimes referred to as rational expression, [2] [3] is a sequence of characters that specifies a match pattern in text. Usually such patterns are used by string-searching algorithms for "find" or "find and replace" operations on strings , or for input validation .

    this expression is analogous to any number in base 10 with a hundreds, tens and ones place. FOIL can also be looked at as a number with F being the hundreds, OI being the tens and L being the ones. a ⋅ c {\displaystyle a\cdot c} is the product of the first digit of each of the two numbers; F.
