Pascal's triangle Construct a "d"-dimensional triangle (a 3-dimensional triangle is a tetrahedron) by placing additional dots below an initial dot, corresponding to P(1) = 1. Place these dots in a manner analogous to the placement of numbers in Pascal's triangle. To find P("x"), have a total of "x" dots composing the target shape. P("x") then equals the total number of dots in the shape. A 0-dimensional triangle is a point and a 1-dimensional triangle is simply a line, and therefore P("x") = "1" and P("x") = "x", which is the sequence of natural numbers. The number of dots in each layer corresponds
Intensive word form Intensive word form In grammar, an intensive word form is one which denotes stronger, more forceful, or more concentrated action relative to the root on which the intensive is built. Intensives are usually lexical formations, but there may be a regular process for forming intensives from a root. Intensive formations, for example, existed in Proto-Indo-European, and in many of the Semitic languages. Intensives are generally used as adverbs. In general, they are placed before the verb that they modify, usually a form of the "be" verb. An example in common usage today is ""the heck""; as in ""What the heck
