Where to put my binary file

okay, so I have a binary file "quadratic function", I wrote it in c++ and compiled it, and now I'd like to know where to put it, I think I read /opt somewhere, but most of the applications have there binaries in /usr/bin. So any suggestions will be greatly aprpreciated.

You can run it from anywhere. If you want to run it as a command permanently I think /usr/local/bin is the preferred spot for manually installed binaries. The local directory will not be touched by the distribution updates and such.
