So when Helmholtz recognized that thought moves at a finite rate, faster than a bird but slower than sound, he missed a fundamental difference between the brain and a telegraph. In our heads, speed is not always the most important thing. Sometimes what really matters is timing.
A solution of a quadratic equation is a value of the variable that makes the equation true. Many quadratic equations. can be solved by factoring and using the zero-factor property. The Zero-Factor Property: When the product of two real numbers is 0, at least one of them is 0.
For other uses, see Zero sum (disambiguation). In game theory and economic theory, a zero-sum game is a mathematical representation of a situation in which each participant's gain or loss of utility is exactly balanced by the losses or gains of the utility of the other participants. If the total gains of the participants are added up and the total losses are subtracted, they will sum to zero.
