A negative number in mathematics signifies the reverse. A negative number is one that is less than zero in the real number system. Negative numbers are frequently used to indicate how great a loss or a shortage is. One may consider an unpaid debt to be a negative asset. If a quantity, like the charge […]
The number zero (0), a positive natural number (1, 2, 3, etc.), or a negative integer denoted by a minus sign (1, 2, 3, etc.) are all examples of integers. The inverse additives of the equivalent positive numbers are the negative numbers. The letter Z or the chalkboard Z is frequently used to represent the
A polynomial is a mathematical statement that solely uses the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponentiation of variables. It is made up of indeterminates (also known as variables) and coefficients. x2 4x + 7 is an illustration of a polynomial with a single indeterminate x. Three-variable example: x3 + 2xyz2 yz +
In economics, the Lorenz curve is a graphical representation of the distribution of income or of wealth. It was developed by Max O. Lorenz in 1905 for representing inequality of the wealth distribution.
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the largest continuing and nationally representative assessment of what U.S. students know and can do in various subjects. NAEP is a congressionally mandated project administered by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), within the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Department of Education.

In algebra, the 3x + 1 semigroup is a special subsemigroup of the multiplicative semigroup of all positive rational numbers. The elements of a generating set of this semigroup are related to the sequence of numbers involved in the still open Collatz conjecture or the “3x + 1 problem”. The 3x + 1 semigroup has been used to prove a weaker form of the Collatz conjecture. In fact, it
