Page 198 - It will be seen that this third term is the square of the quotient obtained from dividing the second term by twice the square root of the first term.
Page 49 - Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor, and write the result as the first term of the quotient.
Page 265 - The logarithm of any power of a number is equal to the logarithm of the number multiplied by the exponent of the power.
Page 284 - If the product of two numbers is equal to the product of two others, either two may be made the extremes of a proportion and the other two the means. For, if ad = be, then, dividing by bd, ad_ be bd~bd' ac or j- — -
