  2. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_(mathematics)

    This is denoted as 20 / 5 = 4, or ⁠ 20 / 5 ⁠ = 4. [2] In the example, 20 is the dividend, 5 is the divisor, and 4 is the quotient. Unlike the other basic operations, when dividing natural numbers there is sometimes a remainder that will not go evenly into the dividend; for example, 10 / 3 leaves a remainder of 1, as 10 is not a multiple of 3.

  3. Completing the square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completing_the_square

    Since x 2 represents the area of a square with side of length x, and bx represents the area of a rectangle with sides b and x, the process of completing the square can be viewed as visual manipulation of rectangles. Simple attempts to combine the x 2 and the bx rectangles into a larger square

  4. 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.

    However, there are three distinct ways of partitioning a square into three similar rectangles: [1] [2] The trivial solution given by three congruent rectangles with aspect ratio 3:1. The solution in which two of the three rectangles are congruent and the third one has twice the side length of the other two, where the rectangles have aspect ...

  8. Difference of two squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_of_two_squares

    The difference of two squares can also be illustrated geometrically as the difference of two square areas in a plane. In the diagram, the shaded part represents the difference between the areas of the two squares, i.e. a 2 − b 2 {\displaystyle a^{2}-b^{2}} .

  9. Monsky's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsky's_theorem

    Take the square to be the unit square with vertices at (0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0) and (1, 1). If there is a dissection into n triangles of equal area, then the area of each triangle is 1/ n . Colour each point in the square with one of three colours, depending on the 2-adic valuation of its coordinates.
