About this quadratic formula calculator

The quadratic formula x = (−b ± √(b² − 4ac)) / 2a solves every equation of the form ax² + bx + c = 0. The discriminant b² − 4ac decides the kind of answer: positive gives two real roots, zero gives one repeated root, negative gives a pair of complex roots.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

What does the discriminant tell you?

b² − 4ac > 0: two real roots; = 0: one repeated root; < 0: no real roots, two complex ones. For x² + 2x + 5 it is −16, so the roots are −1 ± 2i.

What is the vertex?

The turning point of the parabola, at x = −b / 2a. For x² − 3x + 2 it is (1.5, −0.25).
