Σελίδα 96 - Add to the first term the product of the common difference into the number of terms less one, and the sum will be the last term.
Σελίδα 164 - To raise a whole number or a decimal to any power, use it as a factor as many times as there are units in the exponent.
Σελίδα 98 - Hence, when the extremes and number of terms are given, to find the common difference, — Divide the difference of the extremes by the number of terms, less 1, and the quotient will be the common difference.
Σελίδα 173 - From the above proposition, it follows that the square of the hypotenuse, diminished by the square of one of the sides, equals the square of the other side. By means of these properties, it follows that two sides of a right-angled triangle being given, the third side can be found. Examples. 1. How long must a ladder be, to reach the top of a house, 40 feet high, when the foot of it is 30 feet from the house ? In this example it is obvious that the ladder forms the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle,...
Σελίδα 30 - To reduce fractions to a common denominator, we have this RULE. Reduce mixed numbers to. improper fractions — compound fractions to their simplest form. Then multiply each numerator by all the denominators, except its own, for a new numerator, and all the denominators together for a common denominator. It is obvious that this process will give the same denominator to each fraction, viz : the product of all the denominators. It is also obvious that the values of the fractions will not be...
