No Solution in Equations

A system of equations has no solution if the lines are parallel and never intersect.

Secant Definition

The secant of an angle in a right triangle is (\frac{hypotenuse}{adjacent}).

Rational Number Definition

A rational number can be expressed as a fraction (\frac{p}{q}), where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0. (\sqrt{0.4}) cannot be expressed in this form.

Unit Digit of (8^n)

The unit digit of (8^n) cycles through 8, 4, 2, 6. Thus, it cannot be 0.
