one half
[one half|one half] is one-half the diameter, equivalent to a radius of 2.
Definition
one half is one-half the diameter, equivalent to a radius of 2. It also represents one and one-half times a quarter, requiring a clockwise movement of one full quarter and an additional half-quarter to place a line.
Mechanism
Three-eighths is one and one-half times a quarter, so we place a line by moving clockwise one full quarter and one-half of another quarter, as in one half.
Effects
one half When the exponent of the middle term is one-half that of the leading term, the equation takes quadratic form. This results in a solvable structure similar to standard quadratic equations.
