Page 99 - A person has two horses, and a saddle worth £50 ; now, if the saddle be put on the back of the first horse, it will make his value double that of the second ; but if it be put on the back of the second, it will make his value triple that of the first ; what is the value of each horse ? Ans.
Page 364 - VARIATIONS of signs, nor the number of negative roots greater than the number of PERMANENCES. Consequence. 328. When the roots of an equation are all real, the number of positive roots is equal to the number of variations, and the number of negative roots to , the number of permanences.
Page 118 - X 6 62 + 3 x 3; and taken 3 tens times, 32 + 2 (3 X 6) + 6s gives 3 x 6 + 32 ; and their sum is, 33 + 2 (3 x 6) + 63 : that is, Rule. — The square of a number is equal to the square of the tens, plus twice the product of the tens by the units, plus the square of the units.
