In its most general sense, a fair use is any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and “transformative” purpose, such as to comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work.
Ironic how NONE of the above requirements were met in this case, it was not transformative, it was not "commented upon", it was not "criticized". It appeared to me the main end result here, intended or not, was the post precluded the OP from purchasing the quoted authors book and getting his desired information from authors copyrighted graph, rather then a generic formula, IMO.
Ostrich's don't miss much either, you can quote me on that.
