factorial - Why does 0! = 1? - Mathematics Stack Exchange The theorem that $\binom {n} {k} = \frac {n!} {k! (n-k)!}$ already assumes $0!$ is defined to be $1$ Otherwise this would be restricted to $0 <k < n$ A reason that we do define $0!$ to be $1$ is so that we can cover those edge cases with the same formula, instead of having to treat them separately We treat binomial coefficients like $\binom {5} {6}$ separately already; the theorem assumes
Why is $\infty\times 0$ indeterminate? - Mathematics Stack Exchange "Infinity times zero" or "zero times infinity" is a "battle of two giants" Zero is so small that it makes everyone vanish, but infinite is so huge that it makes everyone infinite after multiplication In particular, infinity is the same thing as "1 over 0", so "zero times infinity" is the same thing as "zero over zero", which is an indeterminate form Your title says something else than
Who first defined truth as adæquatio rei et intellectus? António Manuel Martins claims (@44:41 of his lecture quot;Fonseca on Signs quot;) that the origin of what is now called the correspondence theory of truth, Veritas est adæquatio rei et intellectus
Difference between PEMDAS and BODMAS. - Mathematics Stack Exchange You shouldn't think of either rule as setting different priorities for multiplication and division, or for addition and subtraction You need to work left to right for these PEMDAS = Parentheses > Exponents > (Multiplication Division) > (Addition Subtraction) BODMAS = Brackets > Order > (Division Multiplication) > (Addition Subtraction)
Prove that $1^3 + 2^3 + . . . + n^3 = (1+ 2 + . . . + n)^2$ HINT: You want that last expression to turn out to be $\big (1+2+\ldots+k+ (k+1)\big)^2$, so you want $ (k+1)^3$ to be equal to the difference $$\big (1+2+\ldots+k+ (k+1)\big)^2- (1+2+\ldots+k)^2\; $$ That’s a difference of two squares, so you can factor it as $$ (k+1)\Big (2 (1+2+\ldots+k)+ (k+1)\Big)\; \tag {1}$$ To show that $ (1)$ is just a fancy way of writing $ (k+1)^3$, you need to
When 0 is multiplied with infinity, what is the result? What I would say is that you can multiply any non-zero number by infinity and get either infinity or negative infinity as long as it isn't used in any mathematical proof Because multiplying by infinity is the equivalent of dividing by 0 When you allow things like that in proofs you end up with nonsense like 1 = 0 Multiplying 0 by infinity is the equivalent of 0 0 which is undefined
