Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Vanishing

👉 The term "vanishingly" is often used in mathematics to describe something that is very small or insignificant. For example, a vanishingly small amount of light can be detected at a distance much smaller than the wavelength of light itself. This is because light has such a high frequency relative to its wavelength that it cannot pass through matter and therefore does not have a significant effect on our perception or measurement.

vanishingly

👉 In mathematics, "vanishing" is a mathematical concept that refers to a property of a function or variable where its value does not change when it is approached from any direction. This means that as we approach a point in the domain (or range) of the function, the value of the function at that point approaches zero. For example, consider the function f(x) = x^2 - 3x + 4. As we move towards the origin (0, 0), the

👉 "Vanishingly simple: when someone says, "I'm just going to be a little bit less annoying," they're not actually being completely uninteresting. It's like they've taken their average behavior and turned it upside down."

Example: "I was just going to be a little bit more persistent about my work; I mean, I'm always on the ball with it, but hey, there's always something else that needs my attention."
