#quadratic equation

Can you solve this?

x²+2x-35

x1 = -5, x2 = -7

x1 = 5, x2 = 7

x1 = -5, x2 = 7

x1 = 5, x2 = -7

no, i can't solve this

i barely remember how to solve a quadratic equation anymore but I'll be damned if the stupid fucking quadratic formula song doesn't get stuck in my head once every few months.

Okay. So. I have a Math LK (Leistungskurs), which for you Americans is like advanced mathematics elective. And I am going to talk about my arch nemesis, the quadratic equation.

So. In Germany, you first learn of this piece of fuck around 8th grade. And you are expected to have it memorised within weeks, if not days. It is even called the “midnight formula” (“Mitternachtsformel”) because, supposedly, you need to know it so deeply and intrinsically that when your teacher wakes you at midnight you are supposed to be able to recite it.

I did not learn it till just about two months ago. I’m in K1. 11th grade. In an advanced mathematics course. I absolutely fucking despise it and it does me. I will not rest till there’s a different way to do this bullshit so that the world may be freed from this crap.

In conclusion, fuck the midnight formula. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Everything started with Tartaglia giving Cardan the method to solve the cubic. Cardan didn’t want to break his promise for a very long time. Everything was fine until another mathematical colleague,…
