Another objectionable circumstance is, that the pokey unknowns support each other in being unimpressible.
It is the purpose of the mathematician to state the unknowns separately in terms of the knowns; this is called solving the equation, and the values of the unknowns so obtained are called the roots or solutions.
In (2) the unknownsare x and y, and the known a; the degree is 3, i.
In general, an indeterminate equation results when the number ofunknowns exceeds by unity the number of equations.
In the second case the number of unknowns is limited to three, corresponding to the three dimensions of space; the degree is unlimited as before.
In the first case there is obviously no limit to the number of unknowns and to the degree of the equation; and, consequently, this aspect is the most general.
The unknowns are usually denoted by the terminal letters, .
The ones that wereunknowns were mentioned, but only in passing.
We were too busy during the initial phases of the project to speculate as to whether the unknowns were spaceships, space monsters, Soviet weapons, or ethereal visions.
Using answers like these, or similar ones, to explain the UFO reports is an expedient method of getting the percentage of unknowns down to zero, but it is no more valid than turning the hands of a clock ahead to make time pass faster.
He explained our basic policy, that of setting aside the unknowns and not speculating on them, and he told how the scientists visiting ATIC had liked the plans for the new Project Grudge.
Took manual control of her ship's guns when her patrol's sensors tagged unknowns inbound across no-mans-land sunside of the Jovian orbit.
The unknowns were under a heavy screen and wouldn't cooperate with the Space Guard's self-identification requirements.
The practice of representing unknowns by vowels did not spread widely in England.
A notation suggested by Vieta and favored by Girard made vowels stand for unknowns and consonants for knowns.
The mathematical subject in which the student usually has to contend most frequently with unknowns at the beginning of his studies is the history of mathematics.
The few mathematicalunknowns explicitly noted above may suffice to illustrate the fact that the path of the mathematical student often leads around difficulties which are left behind.
By classic unknowns we mean here those things which are not yet known to any one, but which have been objects of study on the part of mathematicians for some time.
The unknowns in mathematics to which we aim to direct attention here are not of this philosophical type but relate to questions of the most simple nature.
These particular difficulties are mentioned here mainly because they seem to be among the simplest illustrations of the fact that mathematics is teeming with classic unknowns as well as with knowns.
Unknowns must be labeled as such and must retain these labels until they become knowns in view of the conditions which they can be proved to satisfy.
What could these unknowns want to know that couldn't be learned by asking direct questions?
It had known when these beings met one and then another additional one of these unknowns who were not like the natives of this world.
This enables us to formulate the rule for determining the third and fourth unknowns on page 138 (the position in the year of the day of the resulting date): Rule 3.
Whoever the unknowns are, they were trying only to bother us.
In other words, my belief is that our interest in the affairs of perfect strangers is regarded by the unknowns as rudeness that must be rebuked.
The unknowns might hardly expect us to show as much human reasoning power as all that.
Also we know that we can, by the help of the given equations, eliminate 2 of the 3 unknowns from the quantity whose value is required, which will then contain one only.
Then she returns to the first assumption, and finds the 3 unknowns separately: quod est absurdum.
This will show you that it is hopeless to try to coax any one of these 3 unknowns to reveal its separate value.
Environmental problems are best approached in the environment itself, where all the natural variables and unknowns are present.
Around Him are the burning stars That toss like little ships, The winds blow out of dimunknowns Across his very lips.
Around Him are the burning stars That toss like little ships And winds blow out of dim unknowns Across His very lips.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "unknowns" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
