Using tangent half-angle formulas, it follows immediately that α = sin A = 2r / (1 + r 2) and β = cos A = (1 − r 2) / (1 + r 2) are both rational and that α 2 + β 2 = 1. Multiplying up by the smallest integer that clears the denominators of α and β recovers the original primitive Pythagorean triple.
The rank of the second quartile (same as the median) is 10×(2/4) = 5, which is an integer, while the number of values (10) is an even number, so the average of both the fifth and sixth values is taken—that is (8+10)/2 = 9, though any value from 8 through to 10 could be taken to be the median.
v. t. e. In mathematics and computing, the hexadecimal (also base-16 or simply hex) numeral system is a positional numeral system that represents numbers using a radix (base) of sixteen. Unlike the decimal system representing numbers using ten symbols, hexadecimal uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols "0"–"9" to represent ...
A fixed-point representation of a fractional number is essentially an integer that is to be implicitly multiplied by a fixed scaling factor. For example, the value 1.23 can be stored in a variable as the integer value 1230 with implicit scaling factor of 1/1000 (meaning that the last 3 decimal digits are implicitly assumed to be a decimal fraction), and the value 1 230 000 can be represented ...
A unit fraction is a common fraction with a numerator of 1 (e.g., 1 / 7 ). Unit fractions can also be expressed using negative exponents, as in 2 −1, which represents 1/2, and 2 −2, which represents 1/(2 2) or 1/4. A dyadic fraction is a common fraction in which the denominator is a power of two, e.g. 1 / 8 = 1 / 2 3 .
2/7 may refer to: February 7 (month-day date notation) July 2 (day-month date notation) 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, a light infantry battalion of the United States Marine Corps. 2/7 (number), a fraction. Category: Lists of ambiguous numbers.
For instance, the continued fraction representation of 13 ⁄ 9 is [1;2,4] and its two children are [1;2,5] = 16 ⁄ 11 (the right child) and [1;2,3,2] = 23 ⁄ 16 (the left child). It is clear that for each finite continued fraction expression one can repeatedly move to its parent, and reach the root [1;]= 1 ⁄ 1 of the tree in finitely many ...
Per-unit system. In the power systems analysis field of electrical engineering, a per-unit system is the expression of system quantities as fractions of a defined base unit quantity. Calculations are simplified because quantities expressed as per-unit do not change when they are referred from one side of a transformer to the other.
