Decide my birthday movie next week. Spiderverse, or Lego 2. I have seen neither. - sycor Feb 27, 08:05 7

- I've forgotten the quadratic equation formula, so... -- nm - Roger More Feb 27, 07:50
- I would think there's a simpler way? I'm solving for A first and ended up in quadratic formula land. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 27, 07:50 4
  - And then I ended up in imaginary number land, so I'm guessing I'm doing this wrong - Strongbad Feb 27, 08:00 2
    - here - Roger More Feb 27, 08:06 1
      - I just caught my mistake, missed a sign. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 27, 09:23
