    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:

    Slope illustrated for y = (3/2)x − 1.Click on to enlarge Slope of a line in coordinates system, from f(x) = −12x + 2 to f(x) = 12x + 2. The slope of a line in the plane containing the x and y axes is generally represented by the letter m, [5] and is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    In academic literature, when inline fractions are combined with implied multiplication without explicit parentheses, the multiplication is conventionally interpreted as having higher precedence than division, so that e.g. 1 / 2n is interpreted to mean 1 / (2 · n) rather than (1 / 2) · n.

  7. Geometric mean theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_mean_theorem

    Any triangle, in which the altitude equals the geometric mean of the two line segments created by it, is a right triangle. The theorem can also be thought of as a special case of the intersecting chords theorem for a circle, since the converse of Thales' theorem ensures that the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle is the diameter of its ...

  8. Altitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altitude

    Regions on the Earth's surface (or in its atmosphere) that are high above mean sea level are referred to as high altitude. High altitude is sometimes defined to begin at 2,400 meters (8,000 ft) above sea level. [8] [9] [10] At high altitude, atmospheric pressure is lower than that at sea level. This is due to two competing physical effects ...

  9. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    In mathematics, exponentiation, denoted b n, is an operation involving two numbers: the base, b, and the exponent or power, n. [1] When n is a positive integer, exponentiation corresponds to repeated multiplication of the base: that is, b n is the product of multiplying n bases: [1] = ⏟.
