  2. Anomalous cancellation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomalous_cancellation

    The article by Boas analyzes two-digit cases in bases other than base 10, e.g., ⁠ 32 / 13 ⁠ = ⁠ 2 / 1 ⁠ and its inverse are the only solutions in base 4 with two digits. [2]An example of anomalous cancellation with more than two digits is ⁠ 165 / 462 ⁠ = ⁠ 15 / 42 ⁠, and an example with different numbers of digits is ⁠ 98 / 392 ⁠ = ⁠ 8 / 32 ⁠.

  3. Factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization

    The polynomial x 2 + cx + d, where a + b = c and ab = d, can be factorized into (x + a)(x + b).. In mathematics, factorization (or factorisation, see English spelling differences) or factoring consists of writing a number or another mathematical object as a product of several factors, usually smaller or simpler objects of the same kind.

  4. Tetration - Wikipedia

    The limit, should it exist, is a positive real solution of the equation y = x y. Thus, x = y 1/y. The limit defining the infinite exponential of x does not exist when x > e 1/e because the maximum of y 1/y is e 1/e. The limit also fails to exist when 0 < x < e −e. This may be extended to complex numbers z with the definition:

  5. Factorization of polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization_of_polynomials

    For univariate polynomials over the rationals (or more generally over a field of characteristic zero), Yun's algorithm exploits this to efficiently factorize the polynomial into square-free factors, that is, factors that are not a multiple of a square, performing a sequence of GCD computations starting with gcd(f(x), f '(x)). To factorize the ...

    That is, the goal is to minimize the maximum value of () (), where P(x) is the approximating polynomial, f(x) is the actual function, and x varies over the chosen interval.

  7. Algebraic operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_operation

    In plain text and programming languages, a slash (also called a solidus) is used, e.g. 3 / (x + 1). Exponents are usually formatted using superscripts, as in x 2. In plain text, the TeX mark-up language, and some programming languages such as MATLAB and Julia, the caret symbol, ^, represents exponents, so x 2 is written as x ^ 2.

  9. Factor theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_theorem

    In algebra, the factor theorem connects polynomial factors with polynomial roots. Specifically, if f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} is a polynomial, then x − a {\displaystyle x-a} is a factor of f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} if and only if f ( a ) = 0 {\displaystyle f(a)=0} (that is, a {\displaystyle a} is a root of the polynomial).
