Yes! This is ridiculous, but I learned it!

one BAD BOY (-b) couldn’t decide (+/-) whether to go to a RADICAL (radical sign) party or to BE SQUARE (bsquared) and MISS OUT on (-) two AWESOME CHICKS (2ac). this ALL happened (line under everything) at 2 a.m. (2a)

Good luck!

Write it on a flash card.

Glance over it, then turn the card. Try to say the formula.

Do this couple times a day, and you’ll get the hang of it. After some time, say the equation without looking, then check if you got it right. It take 5 seconds, and it is highly effective for me.

Another thing is to write it down 10 times or more. Writing it down would be more helpful than just reading.

We did it in a sing-songy way and I guess that would be very hard to explain online but I will try. X equals the opposite of B plus or minus the square root of b squared minus four a c all over 2 a. Ok this is close to it

Take out a piece of paper and write it 20 times. That probably will do it, but if not, try 50 times.

if you have a calc, you can make a program. but i used to use this:

opposite of banannas plus or minus the box. in the box there are banannas^2 minus 4times apples times citrus. all of that is divided by 2apples.

program:

prompt A,B,C

-B+- (square root sign) -4AC all divided by 2A sto E

disp:E
