Eigenvalues and eigenvectors help solve varied problems. What are they, how do we find and use them? The vectors that are scaled by matrix multiplication are called eigenvectors of a matrix. The scale factor is called the eigenvalue. We can multiply a square ... more
Some quadratic graphs are upwards, some downwards, some intersect with the x-axis, others not. What are the attributes of these graphs? How can we use them in graphing the function? Attributes of a Quadratic Graph The primary features of a quadratic graph are ... more

Have you ever wondered how to create an irrational number? There are infinite irrational numbers between any two rational numbers, yet they are difficult to find. No list enumerates all the irrational numbers. There are more irrational numbers than rational ... more
This proof works for any prime number: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc. Let’s prove for 5. First, we will assume that the square root of 5 is a rational number. Next, we will show that our assumption leads to a contradiction. Let us assume √5 is a rational ... more
Proof We prove this by contradiction. Let yx be a rational number and p an irrational number. Let us assume that product of these numbers is a rational number ba. We are hoping to get a contradiction due to this assumption. The assumption results in the ... more
