  2. Trinomial expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinomial_expansion

    Trinomial expansion. In mathematics, a trinomial expansion is the expansion of a power of a sum of three terms into monomials. The expansion is given by. where n is a nonnegative integer and the sum is taken over all combinations of nonnegative indices i, j, and k such that i + j + k = n. [1] The trinomial coefficients are given by.

    where a = ⁠ 5(4ν + 3) / ν 2 + 1 ⁠. Using the negative case of the square root yields, after scaling variables, the first parametrization while the positive case gives the second. The substitution c = ⁠ −m / l 5 ⁠, e = ⁠ 1 / l ⁠ in the Spearman-Williams parameterization allows one to not exclude the special case a = 0, giving the ...

  4. Abel–Ruffini theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel–Ruffini_theorem

    Abel–Ruffini theorem. In mathematics, the Abel–Ruffini theorem (also known as Abel's impossibility theorem) states that there is no solution in radicals to general polynomial equations of degree five or higher with arbitrary coefficients. Here, general means that the coefficients of the equation are viewed and manipulated as indeterminates.

  5. Trinomial - Wikipedia

    For instance, the polynomial x 2 + 3x + 2 is an example of this type of trinomial with n = 1. The solution a 1 = −2 and a 2 = −1 of the above system gives the trinomial factorization: x 2 + 3x + 2 = (x + a 1)(x + a 2) = (x + 2)(x + 1). The same result can be provided by Ruffini's rule, but with a more complex and time-consuming process.

    Completing the square is used in. solving quadratic equations, deriving the quadratic formula, graphing quadratic functions, evaluating integrals in calculus, such as Gaussian integrals with a linear term in the exponent, [1] finding Laplace transforms. [2][3] In mathematics, completing the square is often applied in any computation involving ...

  7. FOIL method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOIL_method

    In elementary algebra, FOIL is a mnemonic for the standard method of multiplying two binomials [1] —hence the method may be referred to as the FOIL method. The word FOIL is an acronym for the four terms of the product: The general form is. Note that a is both a "first" term and an "outer" term; b is both a "last" and "inner" term, and so forth.

  8. Pascal's pyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_pyramid

    Pascal's pyramid is the three-dimensional analog of the two-dimensional Pascal's triangle, which contains the binomial numbers and relates to the binomial expansion and the binomial distribution. The binomial and trinomial numbers, coefficients, expansions, and distributions are subsets of the multinomial constructs with the same names.

  9. Thue equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thue_equation

    In mathematics, a Thue equation is a Diophantine equation of the form. where is an irreducible bivariate form of degree at least 3 over the rational numbers, and is a nonzero rational number. It is named after Axel Thue, who in 1909 proved that a Thue equation can have only finitely many solutions in integers and , a result known as Thue's theorem.
