What is the Quadratic Formula?

x=(-b(+/-)square root(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

hope that helps, if u can follow it

the (+/-) means "plus or minus"
in words it's "x equals negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared time 4AC all over 2A"

E= mc2?

the what?

AE I think you're wrong

how so Discos?

THANK YOU, Agent Elrond. You saved me.

JP - If you teach Algebra next year, you'll run into this bugger

Discos - What's wrong with it?

np, it's forever etched in my mind. Learned it back in 8th grade, remembered it since. Glad to help

...and why did you need to know that?

Wow I am impressed AE!

Doing some review work and I completely forgot it. But Alana's graduated, so Alana can forget this stuff

Yeah

...plus I programmed it into my calculator

I used to have it in my calc. For some reason, I never put it back in. It's quite simple to input it, except some ppl forget to put () around 2A. Common error

what kind of review work?

Heh, I'm too lazy to actually remember it...besides which, not like we really used it in Calculus this year...

cool, calc. I'll be taking that next year. should be fun, for me

well see now there ya go, I teach Speech/Drama and English

Calc is fairly easy, especially if you're good at algebra. By the end of the year you'll be able to solve differential equations in your sleep...

AE - Algebra review book, didnt do so hot in it last year so I'm prepping for next year.

JP - Precisely

any stuff with cubic and quartic equations? I'm looking at how you solve them and....
jawdrop

trust me, once you get used to them they aren't as nasty as you'd think. I passed the AP test, so apparently I understood what my teacher was teaching...

I'm sure that's true. When I got my forumal sheet for pre-calc, I was freaked out by all those equations, now I know almost all them by heart.

Ha, I didn't even take pre-calc...jumped right into AP Calc this year It was kinda scary at first, but we'd spend about a month (at least) on each chapter, so that our teacher made sure that we totally understood everything.

Lucky u. If I did good in Math A (first-year high school math, but took in 8th grade b/c I was smart) and Math A/B (second year), I could have taken math B Honors (third year and more advanced than regaular math B). Since I'm a year head, I could have taken Math 12N, the take Calc BC in my senior year, but I'm just taking Calc AB, but that's still good.

here in Britain we dont have a 4 in ours

you need it for when you are dealing with three unknown variables

of course its completely useless for the more advanced problems

muhahahaha!!!! AE i thought the AB was going to be a breeze to until you hit Integrals and everything you thought you learned was useless

Quadradic formula
*Shudders*
I allways forgot how to use it with factoring and stuff.
Man, Pre-calc's gonna be hard.

not unless your lucky and they give you a formula sheet to use

*Prays*
I hope so!

Shit, do we have summer review work that we need to do?

Well, YOU do, Mr. I'm-so-cool-and-going-into-PreCalc-next-year

I am?

Oh me and spear can suffer together!

You are going to wish everything was as easy as the Quadratic formula when you go to pre-cal and calc

MATH NO!

i failed math every year since 3rd grade

Hell, I forgot how to do division

Oh how I love my calculator

Precalc was pretty easy. All we did was expand on everything we already learned, went more in-depth

Me too.
my graphing calculator is my friend!

i never learned

what kind do u have? I have a Ti-83+. I use it all the time. Matrices are soo easy with a calc

I've got a TI-86 plus or whatever I forgot the exact number, tbh

I would like to get a TI-89, but I think thier banned on SAT's, I think

did you have honors? and then AP Calc this year? our teacher was a mad man that ran us all into the ground Taylor series and Integrals .....o joy!!

there are only Ti - 84s last time i checked guys

Yea, my bad RTO

I've got a TI-83 Plus in my hands right now

I've got the TI-83+ silver one Its cool. I have SO many games on there.
Mario is the coolest though!

jeez geekfest extrodanare














droolio geeks are so sexiee

Geek? No, just oddly good at math, and I owe it all to my calculator

i hate math cry but i think thats just because my math teacher is a vietnam veteran scarieee

he screams at EVERYONE

no... the geeks for me are the ones who leave our manditory study session to watch Yugioh swear by god we were ready to kill this girl for that Ti 83 plus here to.

"Yugi oh"

anyone who watches that show should be shot

AH HA TI-30Xa

they should and the studio that creates them should be pillage and the creators turned inside out.... but thats just me

is that that show with the kid tht has that wierd hair

Yes... thats why they must all die

Do you have any idea how many card games are out now? ffs

my favorite card game 52 pic up throw them everywhere and leave

I never played any ever .... i have battle tech cards but that was because i was 9 and the robots locked cool. i can only imagine how many and that scares me

Magic: The Gathering is the only good one.

I once saw a card game for American Idol

lol

the only "card game" i got is some Bazooka Joe thing that came on the back of some old baseball trading cards

i still have my pokemon cards from when i was 9 somewhere




i should burn them

ohhhh ohhh i have basketball and baseball cards from 1990 i'm gonna save those

The original ones? Keep them. Fine some 5th grader and sell them to him/her. Burn any new ones. They're not worth the paper they're printed on.

yea there original

Are you?

No Algebra 3, CP

I think I still have pokemon cards somewhere too. I'm gonna make a profit offa those.
Never paid anything for any of them. Got 'em all from friends and cousins!

Oh, cool. Party!

And no, I'm just reviewing last year's material, I think only Precalc kids do summer math work

Good summer reading is bad enough

You're telling me

Indeed, I am

I started "Death of a Salesman", so far, I've discovered the old man is a senile lunatic and the sons are sex-crazed pervs

Mm.. I started the history book, got five pages into it, and lost it

My parents think I'm almost through with it... I love Sparknotes

I figured I ought to read at least one of the books, after that, erm, "botched" job of reading A Tale of Two Cities

Heh, oh so slightly botched

My parents didn't even know we had to read it they were telling me at the end of the year that they were surprised I hadn't had to read it in school yet, so me being, the perfect son tell them, "Oh, it sounds like a good book, I'll read it someday."

My dad said something similar like that.. "That's a good read" only I said that I read it, but didnt understand it at all. Not a lie

Pff

I didn't even open to the first page that's an all-time low

We all read it in class, unless you didnt even do that

Nope

We did? I do NOT remember that

And Standring was all, wow, this opening paragraph was one sentence, and everyones like wowww

Oh yea, that!

ok, so I didn't read anything on my own

That's better

Whatever pleases you, O Joe

I'm O Joe!

hey joe where you goin with that gun of yours

Your mom.

what?

Yeah, that's right.

confused as usual

goddammit, people WILL call you that

So?

Math for people who dont cheat on the resume

wtf??

The thread reeks of poser

I'll make it known; your name will be O Joe for all time!

Thanks for the new status

...wow. O Joe, that's funny...

I took Algebra when I was in 7th grade, and then again with trigonometry sophomore year
