What’s your favorite mathematical equation?
negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4ac over 2a!
I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!

i have no clue what that means.. my math skills are shot
Pythagoras.
Man, I used to know that stuff.
What a dorky Featured Question! I love it.
…-weeps-
Hmmm… There are so many… HA!
a^2+b^2=c^2
I was going to do the calculus version of finding the circumference of a circle… but how do you type that?!
The Fourier Transform. Man that thing is useful.
And yours is apparently the quadratic equation!
se^x= e^x. How could a person not like se^x?
that’s the only math formula i ever memorized past the test! it’s my favorite, too, cuz it sounds so cool but it is quite easy to solve. from what i remember anyway. lol
did you ever know the song to that equation! we sang it all the time in algebra 2! haha
Omfg, I really liked that equation, toooo! The quadratic equation, right?! Bombbb.
i sucked at math,. but some how i got up to trig in my high school years. haha.
xo
i thought about this for the first time since middle school the other night when it got stuck in my head to the tune of “pop goes the weasel” when i was falling asleep.
Quadratic. <3
When I was in high school my math teacher at the time taught us the quadratic formula in a song:
to the tune of Yellow Submarine:
Minus Beeee, plus or minus, the square root of b squared, minus 4 ay see, all over two a. We all love the quadratic formula, quadratic formula, quadratic formula… we all love the quadratic formula..
and so on.
You stole my answer, Natalia.
@Viewtiful_Justin - we have math esp
@Natalia - I can think of almost no other esp that would be more useless…why can’t we have coolness esp or language esp…or…you know…what’s good on tv esp.
I love this one too!
I was never good at math so I’m sure I don’t have one!
Plus or minus the square root of 4b squared. That IS the question, right?
i feel like a nerd for knowing what this is for.
What’s funny about that equation is that my teacher in my senior year of high school made us sing a song to remember it, to the tune of Frère Jacques.
Negative B
Negative B
Plus or minus square root
Plus or minus square root
B squared minus 4 A C
B squared minus 4 A C
All over 2 A
All over 2 A
Surprisingly, this wasn’t my most embarrassing learning tool…No, that was the Prepositional Phrase Dance.
@X_naomi_X - Okay, your song was a lot cooler than mine.
oh my the quadratic equation <3
my teacher had a song for it and everything
*head esplode*
I hate that one. why did you chose it?
i 8 pie (not sure how to type the symbol for pie)
Hi Natalia, just found you through skanickadee, and I wanted to let you know that I have subbed. Well, I am sending you a message as well, but it’s only polite to introduce myself a bit first, right?
Uh…math, huh. After (mumble mumble) years, you’d think I’d recall something…but apparently not.
Well, my brain just melted after trying to comprehend that.
Btw, you look gorgeous in your profile picture!
I like wave functions. They’re neat.
