A handy formula easily memorized by repetition. It is used in many instances, such as trying to find the roots of an equation, or solving an equation that will not factor with integers.

To solve using the Quadratic Formula:

In any equation

ax^2+bx+c,

The roots can be found by substituting into:

-b(+,-)sqrt(b^2-4ac)/2a

OR

Negative "B" plus or minus the square root of "B" squared minus 4(a)(c), all divided by 2(a).

EX:

Hm..

10x^2+13X-5

-13(+,-)sqrt(169+200)/20
>_>
In other words, by substituting the numbers in, you get 13(+,-)sqrt(369)/20.

As you may or may not have guessed, this gives you a very nasty number, which should be approximated and rounded to the nearest thousandth.

Not all of us Americans are NASCAR loving rednecks!
In fact, I race a TonyKart if you blithering idiots know what that is, it was made in Italy. Suck it.
The south should split off and stop embarrassing us northerners. Formula one is infinitely better than NASCAR.

Mathematical formula for determining the maximum age of a man's age for a woman to be considered a cougar.
Woman's age divide in half, then add 7. The result is the maximum age of her cub.
Female - 34 (cougar age)

cougar formula:

34/2 = 17.

17 + 7 = 24

Maximum male age - 24 (cub age)

Formulaic Halfwit is exactly as it sounds. Someone who is lacking in creativity and is dimwitted, slow, or stupid.
Person A along with a group of our friends: *wakes me up from a nap to do something stupid*

Me: If you formulaic halfwits want to go and do something stupid then by all means do it but leave me out of it.

The universally accepted method of objectively rating a woman's attractiveness. It was first realized in the summer of 2010 and has now become almost a household term.

The equation has three variables: U, L, and F, representing Upper body, Lower body, and Face respectively. Each variable is given a value from 0 to 10 judging on the attractive features of the woman in question.

The equation for determining a woman's rating of visual attractiveness (or RVA) is

RVA = ULsin(9F)

This formula works for any woman (try it!)
Damn dude, you see that girl? What do you think?

Hell naw, you see that face? That's a 0 on the Man Formula for sure. Don't mess with that.
