What is the factor theorem?
In algebra, the factor theorem is a theorem linking factors and zeros of a polynomial. It is a special case of the polynomial remainder theorem.The factor theorem states that a polynomial has a factor if and only if
What will happen if 1 is a prime number?
The fundamental theorem of arithmetic or the unique factorisation theorem would fail.
What the ONLY number between a square number and a cube number?
26, known as Fermat's Sandwich Theorem.
What is a prime factor form?
The fundamental theorem of arithmetic says any integer can be factored into a unique product of primes. The is the prime factored form.
What is every whole numbers greater than one is either a prime number or can be written as a product of a prime number in an unique way?
The Fundamental theorem of arithmetic.
How can you work out pythagorass theorem?
There are a great number of different proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem. Unfortunately, many of them require diagrams which are hard to reproduce here. Check out the link to Wikipedia's page on the theorem for several different proofs.
What has the author Donald N Cohen written?
Donald N. Cohen has written: 'Knowledge based theorem proving and learning' -- subject(s): Automatic theorem proving, Data processing, Psychology of Learning, Theory of Knowledge
What is the definition of a Converse theorem?
the opposite of the original concept your learning.
How does knowledge of simplifying radicals help when using the Pythagorean Theorem?
hello
Who was believed to have first proved the Pythagorean theorem?
The Pythagorean theorem is named after the Greek mathematician Pythagoras, who by tradition is credited with its discovery and proof, although it is often argued that knowledge of the theorem predates him.
What professions use the Pythagorean Theorem?
High school teachers when teaching it to students
Who invented the pythegorean theorem?
Actually, the theorem has been used long ago before mathematician called Pythagoras came along. It was previously already applied in Indian society. The theorem only came to be known as "Pythagoras Theorem" because he (or his students) were the first ones to construct a proof for the theorem.
Why is the theorem named after pythagoras?
Although it is often argued that knowledge of the theorem predates him, the theorem is named after the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras (c. 570 - c. 495 BC) as it is he who, by tradition, is credited with its first recorded proof.

Does science offer conclusive proof for a theory?
Sometimes Yes, as in Pythagoras' Theorem. Other times No, for as Godel's Incompleteness Theorem shows, there will be complete bodies of knowledge in which there will be truths that cannot be proven, and falsities which cannot be denied. [I paraphrase his theorem.]
How old was Pythagoras when he discovered Pythagoras theorem?
Pythagoras lived from 571 BCE to 495 BCE, so he was about 76 when he died. Pythagoras and his students are often said to have constructed the first proof of this useful theorem. Pythagoras had a school with many students. but the school was secretive, and the students gave their teacher for what they discovered. Because of this, we don't know exactly who did what and when. In any case, it is clear from their clay tablets that the Babylonians knew and used the theorem we call "Pythagoras' Theorem", about a thousand years earlier. They also knew some kind of proof.
What is the history of the Pythagorean theorem?
While the theorem is attributed to Pythagoras, there is reason to believe it was known much earlier. For example, megalithic sites that predate Pythagoras seem to have applied this knowledge.
