...+6) xc or a+6xc. A parenthesis enclosing letters, or a line drawn over them, is called a vinculum, and points out how many are to be multiplied, divided,...the quantity represented by that letter : thus aa is the second power or square of a, aaa is the third power of a, &c. ,• and in relation to these powers... | |
