Page 125 - ... the first is to the third as the difference between the first and second is to the difference between the second and third, the quantities a, b, c, are said to be in harmonical proportion.
Page 6 - To raise a whole number or a decimal to any power, use it as a factor as many times as there are units in the exponent.
Page 24 - 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 28 - The Greatest Common Divisor of two or more numbers is the greatest number that will exactly divide each of them. Thu4, 18 is the greatest, common divisor of 36 and 54, since it is the greatest number that will divide each of them without a remainder.
Page 19 - The square of the sum of two quantities is equal to the SQuare of the first, plus twice the product of the first by the second, plus the square of the second.
Page 131 - But, if we add the square of half the co-efficient of the second term to the first member to make it a complete square, we must add it to the second member to preserve the equality of the members.
Page 19 - ... the square of the second. In the second case, we have (a — &)2 = a2 — 2 ab + b2. (2) That is, the square of the difference of two quantities is equal to the square of the first, minus twice the product of the two, plus the square of the second.
