Quadratic Solver

Input Coefficients: ax² + bx + c = 0

FORMULA: x = (-b ± √D) / 2a
Discriminant (D)1(Two Real Roots)
Roots (x)
x₁: 3|x₂: 2

If D > 0, there are two distinct real roots. If D = 0, there is exactly one real root. If D < 0, there are two complex roots.

What is the Formula?

The quadratic formula is used to find the solutions (roots) of a quadratic equation. It is derived from completing the square of the standard form equation.

x = -b ± √(b² - 4ac) / 2a

The Quadratic Formula

Discriminant (D)

D > 0

Two distinct real roots (The parabola crosses the x-axis twice).

D = 0

One real root (The parabola's vertex touches the x-axis).

D < 0

Two complex roots (The parabola never touches the x-axis).
