The Girl Who Played with Fire

I'm reading the second book of the Millennium trilogy by Stieg Larson. The story starts with a paragraph about equations. Can you complete the gaps? Use comments and write your name:


PART 1: Irregular Equations
DECEMBER 16–20

Equations are classified by the highest (a)________ (value of the exponent) of their unknowns. If this is one, the equation is of (b)________  degree. If this is (c)________ , the (d)________  is of second degree, and so on. Equations of higher degree than one yield multiple possible values for their unknown quantities. These values are known as (e)________ .
The first-degree equation (the linear equation):

3x−9 = 0 (root: x = ______)

    Equations are classified by the highest (a)_____power___ (value of the exponent) of their unknowns. If this is one, the equation is of (b)__first______ degree. If this is (c)___second_____ , the (d)_power_______ is of second degree, and so on. Equations of higher degree than one yield multiple possible values for their unknown quantities. These values are known as (e)__roots______ .
