both formulas and formulae plurals can used when referring to mathematical relationship or rule expressed in symbols.
only the plural formulas is used in the following 2 cases:
1) a fixed form of words, esp. one used in particular contexts or as a conventional usage : legal formulas.• a method, statement, or procedure for achieving something, esp. reconciling different aims or positions : the forlorn hope of finding a peace formula.
• a rule or style unintelligently or slavishly followed : [as adj. ] one of those formula tunes.
• a statement that formally enunciates a religious doctrine.
• a stock epithet, phrase, or line repeated for various effects in literary composition, esp. epic poetry.
2) a list of ingredients for or constituents of something : the soft drink company closely guards its secret formula.
• a formulation : an original coal tar formula that helps prevent dandruff.
• an infant's liquid food preparation based on cow's milk or soy protein, given as a substitute for breast milk.
