The evolution of a math student's power level is directly proportional to how they write the quadratic formula!
First panel: The innocent beginner with the standard form. Sweet summer child.
Second panel: The intermediate student who's discovered exponents and is flexing those mathematical muscles. That Super Saiyan energy when you realize b¹ and c⁰ were hiding in plain sight!
Final form: The math professor who's transcended to summation notation. Not even wearing their final form restraints anymore. They've seen the matrix, and it's just a series of coefficients.
This is what happens when you solve for x one too many times. Your brain starts optimizing the notation until you're speaking in pure abstraction!
