( In fact, subtracting 1 and dividing the result by 9 always gives a triangular number, the sequence starting with 3, 55, 903, 3727815, ....) This can be reformulated as follows: adding the digits of any even perfect number ( except 6 ), then adding the digits of the resulting number, and repeating this process until a single digit ( called the digital root ) is obtained, always produces the number 1.

When the length of vectors is defined, it is possible to also define a dot product — a scalar-valued product of two vectors — which gives a convenient algebraic characterization of both length ( the square root of the dot product of a vector by itself ) and angle ( a function of the dot product between any two vectors ).

It can be parameterized by drawing a line with slope t through the rational point, and intersection with the plane quadratic curve ; this gives a polynomial with F-rational coefficients and one F-rational root, hence the other root is F-rational ( i. e., belongs to F ) also.

The reader is expected to know the basic arithmetic operations as far as taking the square root, although he explains how to find the cube and cube-root of an integer and later gives rules facilitating the computation of squares and square roots.

and using the negative case of the square root yields, after scaling variables, the first parametrization while the positive case gives the second.

The square root of 2, often known as root 2 or radical 2 and written as, is the positive algebraic number that, when multiplied by itself, gives the number 2.

As the rise of rock and roll music is often credited as having begun with 1940s American blues, and with so many genres having branched off from rock-the myriad subgenres of heavy metal, punk rock, pop music and many more-it can be argued that African music has been at the root of a very significant portion of all recent popular or vernacular music.
