It's the "family" the device belongs to.
The 74151 is the original Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL) device.
The 74L151 is the low-power ("L") version. Slower than the original TTL family.
Others are:
S - Schottky (high-speed)
LS - low-power high speed. About equivalent in speed to the original TTL, but lower power.
ALS advanced low-power high-speed
C - Complementary Metal-Oxide Silicon, which uses a different technology (CMOS rather than bipolar transistors), but conforms to the "74"-series logic functions. Much lower power consumption than TTL devices described above.
v denote sinhala and x denote tamil
It can be though it is more often used to denote a variable.
"x" is a lot simpler than "the number which I don't know but am trying to calculate"
f'(g(h(x)))*g'(h(x))*h'(x) where the prime denote a derivative with respect to x.
Yes and it is z=x+iy
The IC code is on the actual IC, you can find out its details by searching the IC code on Google.
An asterisk, not to be confused with Asterix who is a cartoon character, is used to denote multiplication (or times) ie a*b = a times b. Some old programming languages/computers used double asterisks to denote exponentiation ie a**b = ab. This was because x was often used to denote a variable and its use to denote multiplication could cause confusion.

In todays terms: XVI-X-XCIX but the ancient Romans would have gone for the simple format of XVI-X-IC
It is very critical to never exceed the input voltage of an IC to begin with. To calculate the power dissipation ( in watts) VxI (Voltage x Current) will give you power in watts.
