"Negative B" by Mr. Bizz. Fall 2011. Backing track: "Nothin' On You" by B.O.B. and Bruno Mars. Negative b, plus or minus, square root of b squared minus four a c And it's all over two a! All over two a! If you're thinking that this song's about a beautiful girl Then you might as well be living in a different world A world without div, grad, curl, or a limit Infinite, got no meaning even when you sing it 1 2 3 4 5 and 6 afraid of 7 'Cause 7 ate a 9 he bought from 7 Eleven So if your brain's the dough, then let this be the leavening Agent, even if you're black, white, or Asian! I love it when you call it Precalculus As if Calculus was just next to us Ridin' on a bus on a route called Math While Algebra and Geometry make out in the back So you take all the numbers from the number line And variables and functions 'cause you think they fine What you got isn't really hard to define So you can say things like-- [Hook] Negative b, plus or minus, square root of b squared minus four a c And it's all over two a! All over two a! You're guessing high, I'm guessing low, Why don't we solve it, so we'll definitely know That it's all over two a! All over two a! ... So you think you've got a Second degree polynomial Like a line in the sand, less proverbial And you want to see it cross the horizontal base line Drop the function low like a funky bass line Case time! X-axis, let the function fall Either two time or one time or none at all Look at the discriminant--the sign of the result will tell When this graph gonna kiss and tell! Now arrange the terms in descending order Start with the squared, go right if you're shorter Then get the coefficients in front of the x's Make them a, b, c, ride 'em like a Lexus Plug them in the quadratic equation Which one? The one in the hook's presentation! And just in case the formula escaped your mind, Don't cry! I think it starts like-- [Hook] So your answers can be real or not If they're both imaginary, that's a thicker plot Don't forget the plus-minus sign If you got two answers, then that's just fine Sometimes, hope's infinitesimal, So small, can't even see the decimal But be brave, that's next year's test to us-- In calculus, uh! [Hook]
