    mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem is known as a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of a right triangle. This theorem was named after him. For example, a right triangle is a triangle with a right angle; square corners adjacent sides also called square corners of the triangle beside it; hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle. In the figure below, a and b are adjacent sides (square corners), c is the hypotenuse: Pythagoras theorem stated his name in the…

    Pythagoras of Samos is often referred to as the first mathematician. Although he studied multiple principles of math and made other discoveries of such he is most well known for proving that the trigonometry basis, Pythagorean Theorem, exists. In fact the Pythagorean Theorem is named after him! Other contributions he made or discovered are; the sum of the angle is a triangles equal to two right angles, construction figures of a given area with geometrical algebra, discovery of irrationals,the…

    PROCEDURE Maximum power and Norton’s Theorem will be performed to solve the unknowns within the given circuit. How to use both Maximum Power and Norton’s Theorem properly, are to be explained in order to solve a circuit using these approaches. THEORY MAXIMUM POWER Maximum power states that a load receives max power from a network when it’s resistance is exactly equal to the Thevenin and Norton resistance of the network supplying the power (as shown below): If the load resistance is…

    To the best of our knowledge, humans are the only creatures on earth that are able to contemplate infinity. We commonly talk about the infinite universe (which cosmologists now tell us is almost certainly finite but unbounded), we speak of infinite number series, such as the set of even numbers, and we use it metaphorically, as in saying someone has “infinite patience.” Time itself is spoken of as infinite, though it is always tied to finite objects which are changing and we can 't even come…

    Modigliani and Miller (1958) provided a new theory of capital structure, suggesting that a firm’s choice between debt and equity has no impact on the firm’s value. This became known as irrelevance theorem. However, this theory is surrounded by a number of assumptions that can be analyzed in turn. The first assumption from Modigliani and Miller (1958) is that firms operate within a perfect capital market. The perfect capital market is defined by Fabozzi, Neave and Zhou (2012, p 87). Firstly,…
