\(y = x + 3\) is a linear equation and \(y = x^2 + 3x\) is a quadratic equation. If the product of two numbers is zero, then one or both numbers must also be equal to zero. To solve, put each bracket ...

Often in algebra we have an equation that we want to solve. This frequently involves manipulating the equation in various different ways to achieve a desired outcome. Key fact The golden rule when ...

Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...

The y-intercept is the point at which a linear equation crosses the y-axis on the x=0 plot point. The equation to determine both the slope and the y-intercept of a line is y=mx+b. This calculation may ...

We associate a sequence of Toeplitz matrices with the rational formal power series $T(z)$. An algorithm for solving linear equations with a Toeplitz matrix from this ...
