The Quadratic Formula uses the "a", "b", and "c" from "ax2 + bx + c", where "a", "b", and "c" are just numbers.   The Formula is derived from the process of completing the square, and is formally stated as:

For ax2 + bx + c = 0, the value of x is given by

x = [ –b ± sqrt(b^2 – 4ac) ] / 2a

BREAKING NEWS. COALITION SUCCESS STORIES now have a GREAT chance of reaching not only the American people - but the world. Whoo hoo!

Yesterday Andrew Sullivan linked the Spc. Ops letter (and FR) to his websight. He has the widest readership of any blogger, I believe...was credited with bringing down Jayson Blair at the NY Times. Lookie what Andrew's doing for the troops today!

If anyone has family serving in Iraq - or any troops are lurking:

Please check out Andrew Sullivan's websight today. He's actually looking at the big picture in Iraq, and asking for letters from the troops:
 
To share a story...
 
* or say thanks *
 
... andrew@andrewsullivan.com
 
An excerpt from Andrew's websight today:
 
THE OTHER SIDE: With that in mind, here's an appeal to anyone out there with firsthand experiences in Iraq today - in the military or elsehwere - to send me your own impressions of what's going on. I don't trust most of the journalists, I'm afraid. Here's part of one email I just received:
I left early this morning for Mosul then to a town in Northern Iraq called Duhok. It is a Kurdish city and a bigtime market place. The people there really love the Americans... more than anywhere else. It was a very cool experience. Kids wanting to touch you and thank you for getting rid of Saddam. I had one kid saying... "mister... Saddam very bad ... bush very good..." and repeating it over and over. It was a very long day and I am glad to be back at Qwest... Northern Iraq is soo pretty with the mountains and some water. The Kurdish people are very friendly and honest. One of the soldiers dropped money accidentally out of his pocket and didn't notice. A whole group of kids came up and pointed to it saying " Mister your money..." Most kids in shitty places like this would just steal the cash and run...

Oh, and you might want to let Mr. Sullivan know you're a Freeper.   See #184   (^;

That 14 year old was being groomed to take over after Saddam and Uday and whatever his name is. With teachers like that, enjoy your dirt nap!

Good afternoon, everybody! Thank you troops for keeping us safe! You are doing agreat job! Especially yesterday with those two, low-down, no good, pain in the neck sons!!!!

Sorry I missed the breakfast that was laid before us! It looked really good! I made waffles out of the left overs using a meat tenderizer for the treads! I didn't eat them all though!! :^ ) LOL!!

Thanks for the flowers, boys! Pretty blue!

Ladies, thanks for the prayers and poems!

Catching up with you good people is worth it everytime! I always get a laugh when I visit.

Tomkow, your feeble jokes are too much fun!

I read the post about Andrew Sullivan, and I will have to visit his web page.

The lioness pictured in the cage, that was just me having a bad day! LOL!!!
