Page 76 - Multiply the divisor thus increased, by the second term of the root, and subtract the product from the remainder.
Page 23 - 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. Multiply the whole divisor by the first term of the quotient, and subtract the product from the dividend.
Page 237 - B set out from two towns, which were distant 247 miles, and travelled the direct road till they met. A went 9 miles a day ; and the number of days, at the end of which they met, was greater by 3 than the number of miles which B went in a day. How many miles did each go ? 17.
Page 261 - The logarithm of any power of a number is equal to the logarithm of the number multiplied by the exponent of the power.
Page 122 - Proportion is an equality of ratios. Thus, if a, b, c, d are four quantities, such that a, when divided by b, gives the same quotient as c when divided by d, then a, b, c, d are called proportionals, and we say that a is to b as c is to d...
