X equals negative B

Plus or minus the square root

Of B squared minus 4AC

All over 2A

Sang to the tune of pop goes the weasel.

I haven’t done pre-calc in like 10 years, but this song still lives rent free in my head.

I learned similarly but to the tune of the Flintstones theme.

"Neg B / Plus or minus / Square root of b squared minus 4AC / It's all / Over 2A / That's the quadratic formul-ee" (to rhyme with 4AC).

You can also do it to the chorus of Rollin' in the Deep. I teach both to my Algebra students.
