That is changing. New research from the National Academy of Sciences suggests that's no longer the case: scientists can now determine with some confidence the degree climate change influenced some extreme weather events.
The factors are the numbers that are being multiplied together. The product is the result or answer of multiplying the multiplicand by the multiplier. A multiplication problem may be written horizontally such as 2 x 7 = 14. In this example 2 and 7 are the factors and 14 is the product of the multiplication. A multiplication problem may be written vertically. 2 x 7 14.
It is called an inverse problem because it starts with the results and then calculates the causes. This is the inverse of a forward problem, which starts with the causes and then calculates the results. Inverse problems are some of the most important mathematical problems in science and mathematics because they tell us about parameters that we cannot directly observe.
