How to Memorize "formula"

  1. visualize

    - To visualize a formula, try to imagine the mathematical operations being performed step by step. For example, to visualize the quadratic formula x² + 5x + 6 = 0, imagine subtracting 5x from x², then taking the square root of both sides, and finally subtracting the root of the discriminant from x.

  2. associate

    - To associate a formula with a memory aid, try to create a mental image or story that helps you remember the formula. For example, to remember the formula for the area of a triangle, you might imagine a triangle with three legs, and remember that the area is given by the formula 1/2bh, where b is the base and h is the height.

  3. mnemonics

    - To use a mnemonic to remember a formula, try to create a memorable phrase or acronym that helps you remember the formula. For example, to remember the order of operations in mathematics (PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction), you might use the mnemonic 'Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally'.
