  2. Jensen's inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jensen's_inequality

    Jensen's inequality generalizes the statement that a secant line of a convex function lies above its graph. Visualizing convexity and Jensen's inequality. In mathematics, Jensen's inequality, named after the Danish mathematician Johan Jensen, relates the value of a convex function of an integral to the integral of the convex function.

  3. AM–GM inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AM–GM_inequality

    In two dimensions, 2x 1 + 2x 2 is the perimeter of a rectangle with sides of length x 1 and x 2. Similarly, 4 √ x 1 x 2 is the perimeter of a square with the same area, x 1 x 2, as that rectangle. Thus for n = 2 the AM–GM inequality states that a rectangle of a given area has the smallest perimeter if that rectangle is also a square.

  4. Markov's inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov's_inequality

    [1] It is named after the Russian mathematician Andrey Markov , although it appeared earlier in the work of Pafnuty Chebyshev (Markov's teacher), and many sources, especially in analysis , refer to it as Chebyshev's inequality (sometimes, calling it the first Chebyshev inequality, while referring to Chebyshev's inequality as the second ...

  5. Cramer's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cramer's_rule

    In linear algebra, Cramer's rule is an explicit formula for the solution of a system of linear equations with as many equations as unknowns, valid whenever the system has a unique solution.

  6. Algebraic closure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_closure

    In the same way, an extension K 2 of K 1 can be constructed, etc. The union of all these extensions is the algebraic closure of K , because any polynomial with coefficients in this new field has its coefficients in some K n with sufficiently large n , and then its roots are in K n +1 , and hence in the union itself.

  7. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    Because (a + 1) 2 = a, a + 1 is the unique solution of the quadratic equation x 2 + a = 0. On the other hand, the polynomial x 2 + ax + 1 is irreducible over F 4, but it splits over F 16, where it has the two roots ab and ab + a, where b is a root of x 2 + x + a in F 16. This is a special case of Artin–Schreier theory.

    But beginning with PowerPoint 2007 and PowerPoint 2008 for Mac (PowerPoint version 12.0), this was the only binary format available for saving; PowerPoint 2007 (version 12.0) no longer supported saving to binary file formats used earlier than PowerPoint 97 (version 8.0), ten years before.
