Σελίδα 217 - Therefore, any term of the progression is equal to the first term multiplied by the ratio raised to a power 1 less than the number of the term.
Σελίδα 34 - QUANTITIES. 28. 1. The object of division in algebra is the same as that of division in arithmetic, viz. to find one of the factors of a given product, when the other is known. According to this definition the divisor multiplied by the quotient must produce anew the dividend ; the dividend, therefore, must contain all the factors both of the divisor and quotient ; whence the quotient is obtained by striking out of the dividend the factors of the divisor. Thus to divide...
