Page 202 - Divide the given number into periods of three figures eacn, as in the common method, and find the nearest cube to the first period, subtract it therefrom, and put the root in the quotient ; then thrice the square of this root will be the trial divisor for finding the next figure.
Page 53 - If in any equation each negative coefficient be taken positively, and divided by the sum of all the positive coefficients which precede it, the greatest quotient thus formed increased by unity is a superior limit of the positive roots. Let the equation be Ootf...
Page 13 - ... and — . The preceding equation is only of the fourth power or degree ; but it is manifest that the above remark applies to equations of higher or lower dimensions : viz, that in general . an equation of any degree whatever has as many roots as there are units in the exponent of the highest power of the unknown quantity, and that each root has the property of rendering, by its substitution in place of the unknown quantity, the aggregate' of all the terms of the equation equal to nothing.
