Whiteout (weather) Whiteout (weather) Whiteout is a weather condition in which visibility and contrast are severely reduced by snow or sand. The horizon disappears from view while the sky and landscape appear featureless, leaving no points of visual reference by which to navigate. Whiteout has been defined as: "A condition of diffuse light when no shadows are cast, due to a continuous white cloud layer appearing to merge with the white snow surface. No surface irregularities of the snow are visible, but a dark object may be clearly seen. There is no visible horizon." A whiteout may be due simply to extremely
Quadratic irrational number they must satisfy a quadratic equation and they must be irrational. The solutions to the quadratic equation "ax" + "bx" + "c" = 0 are Thus quadratic irrationals are precisely those real numbers in this form that are not rational. Since "b" and 2"a" are both integers, asking when the above quantity is irrational is the same as asking when the square root of an integer is irrational. The answer to this is that the square root of any natural number that is not a square number is irrational. The square root of 2 was the first such number to
