For y s= a-p, where p is the Root of this Equation zap-+-pp=z xx. Or y = a-J---f-q, where q is the Root, of this Equation 2aq-+ q--qq-=.--a. Or y=z a-+ M--ib "" r wnerer is the Root of this Equation 2ar-$---rmmm i rr== "ti "" 6p' And s n The Resolution of any one of these Quadratics Equations, in the ordinary way, will give.the respective Supplement, which will compleat the value of y. I took notice before, upon the Article of Division, of what may be call'd a Comparison of Quotients; or that one Quotient may be exhibited by the help of another, together with a Series of known or simple Terms. Here we have an Instance of a like Comparison of Roots; or that the Root of one Equation may be expreis'd by the Root of another, together with a Series of known or simple Terms, which will hold good in all Equations whatever. And to carry on the Analogy, we shall hereafter find a like Comparison of Fluents; where one Fluent, (suppose, for instance, a Curvilinear Area, ) will be express'd by another Fluent, together with a Series of simple Terms. This I thought fit to insinuate here, by way of anticipation, that I might shew the constant uniformity and harmony of Nature, in these Speculations, when they are duly and regularly pursued. But I shall here give, ex abundant!, another Method for this, and such kind of Extractions, tho' perhaps it may more properly belong to the Resolution of Affected Equations, which is soon to follow j however it may serve as an Introduction to their Solution. The first Residual or Supplemental Equation in the foregoing Process was 2rf/-h# =, which may be resolved...
