Guess the Formula!

[Burnsey]

Here's one, I'm sure many engineers/aspiring engineers arent too fond of it:

 

[theyoda3]

Some kind of sinc function.

Yea, I have no clue and I don't think anyone else does either. Let us know?

It is the Whittaker–Shannon interpolation formula and is used for reconstructing an analog signal from a digital one.

Here's one, I'm sure many engineers/aspiring engineers arent too fond of it:

Convolution formula

Arrhenius equation

Here's another one:

a^2+b^2=c^2

Here's another one:

a^2+b^2=c^2

Pythagorean theorem

How about: a^2-b^2=c^2

Here's a good one.

NASA uses this;

 

[mickbab]

Pythagorean theorem

How about: a^2-b^2=c^2

Oooooh how difficult.
Pythagorean theorem for finding one of the shorter sides.

 

[iMacmatician]

Never mind. (I had a response but I don't think it's correct.)

Universal gravitation. The Ug helped as well, but I recognized it anyway. I don't, however, remember the totally random value of G, though.

Mine is attached. fun! (I would have typed it or something, but I don't have such editors available to me at the moment)

I might be mistaken but would finding the length of the shorter side (a) be:

c^2 - b^2 = a^2

The answer to my original equation (a^2 - b^2 = c^2) was how to find the foci (c) of an ellipse.

Edit: Corrected to reflect akonradi answer. thanks

I might be mistaken but would finding the length of the shorter side (a) be:

b^2 - C^2 = a^2

c^2 - b^2 = a^2

That's kinda what I had… *headslap*

2-proportion z-interval.

Here's mine:

1/2·π^2·r^4

I have another one but I'm not sure how well known it is. Plus I don't know if it has a name…

c^2 - b^2 = a^2

Hmm okay I was assuming that 'C' would be the side you are finding the length of, and not necessarily the hypotenuse.

I just knew that if it was a minus, it was the equation to find either of the shorter sides (as opposed to addition for the hypotenuse).
