  2. Polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial

    For example, antiderivatives of x 2 + 1 have the form ⁠ 1 / 3x 3 + x + c. For polynomials whose coefficients come from more abstract settings (for example, if the coefficients are integers modulo some prime number p , or elements of an arbitrary ring), the formula for the derivative can still be interpreted formally, with the coefficient ...

  3. Beal conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beal_conjecture

    All cases of the form (2, 3, n) or (2, n, 3) have the solution 2 3 + 1 n = 3 2 which is referred below as the Catalan solution. The case x = y = z ≥ 3 is Fermat's Last Theorem , proven to have no solutions by Andrew Wiles in 1994.

  4. Rosenbrock function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenbrock_function

    In mathematical optimization, the Rosenbrock function is a non-convex function, introduced by Howard H. Rosenbrock in 1960, which is used as a performance test problem for optimization algorithms. [1] It is also known as Rosenbrock's valley or Rosenbrock's banana function. The global minimum is inside a long, narrow, parabolic-shaped flat ...

  5. Quadratic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    The roots of the quadratic function y = ⁠ 1 / 2x 2 − 3x + ⁠ 5 / 2 ⁠ are the places where the graph intersects the x-axis, the values x = 1 and x = 5. They can be found via the quadratic formula. In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a closed-form expression describing the solutions of a quadratic equation.

  6. Pell's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pell's_equation

    A necessary (but not sufficient) condition for solvability is that n is not divisible by 4 or by a prime of form 4k + 3. [note 3] Thus, for example, x 23 y 2 = −1 is never solvable, but x 25 y 2 = −1 may be. [27] The first few numbers n for which x 2 − n y 2 = −1 is solvable are with only one trivial solution: 1

  7. Polynomial interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_interpolation

    For example, given a = f(x) = a 0 x 0 + a 1 x 1 + ··· and b = g(x) = b 0 x 0 + b 1 x 1 + ···, the product ab is a specific value of W(x) = f(x)g(x). One may easily find points along W(x) at small values of x, and interpolation based on those points will yield the terms of W(x) and the specific product ab. As fomulated in Karatsuba ...

  8. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    Graphs of y = b x for various bases b: base 10, base e, base 2, base ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠. Each curve passes through the point (0, 1) because any nonzero number raised to the power of 0 is 1. At x = 1, the value of y equals the base because any number raised to the power of 1 is the number itself.

  9. Binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_coefficient

    As there is zero X n+1 or X1 in (1 + X) n, one might extend the definition beyond the above boundaries to include () = when either k > n or k < 0. This recursive formula then allows the construction of Pascal's triangle , surrounded by white spaces where the zeros, or the trivial coefficients, would be.
