Mathematicians
Often, to completely understand the importance of a mathematical theory, it's essential to know about the person who developed it. This category is where all questions about historically significant mathematicians should be asked.

Yes, he was married to his fourth cousin, Louise de Long.
Originally they were probably invented as a shortcut for repeated multiplication, just as multiplication is a shortcut for repeated addition. However, it was eventually found that, just as fractional factors, fractional exponents can also be given a reasonable - and very useful - definition.

How much capacity is nine inch?
None.
An inch is a measure of length or distance while capacity needs to be measured in terms of a cubic measure. According to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.
For example, there will be a huge difference between the amount of water in a nine-inch high micro-tube or a field that is flooded to a depth of nine-inches!
Are there any important dates in Pythagoras' life?
yes, around 538 B.C. he moved to Croton in southern Italy and started a school for his group of followers. He was born around 575 B.C. on the island of Samos in Greece. And he died around 495 B.C
Because we know so little about this time period we do not know the exact date of his birth and death.
How do you create a calculator on pascal?
:= is pascal for assignment
so :
n:= 1+2 ;
n is 3
pascal dont like mixed modes
x:= 1.0 + 2.0 ;
x is 3.0
; semicolon is very necessary it separates statements
procedure calc;
var x,y,z :real;
begin
x:= 1.0 ; y:= 2.0 ; z := x+y ; writeln(z);
end;
end.
How do you solve 3sqr root of 80 x6y5?
The browser used for posting questions on this site is rubbish. It is quite useless for mathematics since it strips out most symbols so that we cannot tell what the question is meant to be. We could try to guess but in some cases that is not possible and then we may as well make up our own questions and answer them!
Furthermore, this appears to be one expression (or equation) with two variables. In general that does not provide sufficient information for it to be solved.
