Pizza Proof

IF...
x = number of pizza slices
y = a person's quantity of satisfaction
then there is a direct correlation between x and y.
if you were to plot y = f(x) it would be clear that there is a maximum y over the range of x [0,00).
The theorem stands that f(x) would closely resemble a parabola, and would fit the standard form of y = -(x/a-b)^2 + b^2, where a is a constant quantifies how much one likes pizza and b is a constant derived by the quality of the pizza. (Note: a and b are to be found on an individual basis as they are very subjective). And by taking the derivative and setting y equal to zero it is easy to see that the number of pizza slices to produce the maximum satisfaction is x = a*b.

Point made...

We had Pizza Hut and watched the movie Proof in celebration of the Alamo. Pizza = good, Proof = bad.
