The difference between Formula and Equation
In: Mathematics
A formula is an equation that serves a specific purpose and shows you how to compute a single unknown value from one or more known values.
12^(3) + 1^(3) = 10^(3) + 9^(3)
Yeah, that’s neat and all, but it doesn’t help you do anything. It is just an equation.
F = C x 9/5 + 32
Now that’s an equation that lets you do something useful, converting temperature from Celcius to Fahrenheit.
