  2. 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + ⋯ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1/2_%2B_1/4_%2B_1/8_%2B_1/...

    1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + ⋯. First six summands drawn as portions of a square. The geometric series on the real line. In mathematics, the infinite series ⁠ 1 2 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 4 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 8 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 16 ⁠ + ··· is an elementary example of a geometric series that converges absolutely. The sum of the series is 1. In summation notation ...

  3. 1 − 2 + 3 − 4 + ⋯ - Wikipedia

    The idea becomes clearer by considering the general series 1 − 2x + 3x 2 − 4x 3 + 5x 4 − 6x 5 + &c. that arises while expanding the expression 1 ⁄ (1+x) 2, which this series is indeed equal to after we set x = 1. [12]

  4. Discounts and allowances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discounts_and_allowances

    Discounts and allowances are reductions to a basic price of goods or services.. They can occur anywhere in the distribution channel, modifying either the manufacturer's list price (determined by the manufacturer and often printed on the package), the retail price (set by the retailer and often attached to the product with a sticker), or the list price (which is quoted to a potential buyer ...

  5. 1/4 + 1/16 + 1/64 + 1/256 + ⋯ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1/4_%2B_1/16_%2B_1/64_%2B...

    1/4 + 1/16 + 1/64 + 1/256 + ⋯. Archimedes' figure with a = ⁠ 3 4 ⁠. In mathematics, the infinite series ⁠ 1 4 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 16 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 64 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 256 ⁠ + ⋯ is an example of one of the first infinite series to be summed in the history of mathematics; it was used by Archimedes circa 250–200 BC. [1] As it is a geometric series ...

  6. 1/2 − 1/4 + 1/8 − 1/16 + ⋯ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1/2_%E2%88%92_1/4_%2B_1/8...

    1/21/4 + 1/8 − 1/16 + ⋯. Demonstration that 1 21 4 + 1 8 − 1 16 + ⋯ = 1 3. In mathematics, the infinite series 1/21/4 + 1/8 − 1/16 + ⋯ is a simple example of an alternating series that converges absolutely . It is a geometric series whose first term is 1 2 and whose common ratio is − 1 2, so its sum is.

  7. Bell X-2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_X-2

    The Bell X-2 (nicknamed "Starbuster" [1]) was an X-plane research aircraft built to investigate flight characteristics in the Mach 2–3 range. The X-2 was a rocket-powered, swept-wing research aircraft developed jointly in 1945 by Bell Aircraft Corporation, the United States Air Force and the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) to explore aerodynamic problems of supersonic ...

  8. Spin-1/2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin-1/2

    When the probabilities are calculated, the −1 is squared, (−1) 2 = 1, so the predicted physics is the same as in the starting position. Also, in a spin-⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ particle there are only two spin states and the amplitudes for both change by the same −1 factor, so the interference effects are identical, unlike the case for higher spins ...

  9. Smith & Wesson Model 1 1/2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_&_Wesson_Model_1_1/2

    The Model 1 + 12 had three issues. The first two (known as the first and second issues) were "tip-up" revolvers with the barrel release catch located on the side of the frame in front of the trigger, while the third (known as the "Model 1 + 12 Single Action Revolver") was a "top-break", with the barrel release catch located on the top of the frame, just in front of the hammer.
