Solve Quadratics Using the Quadratic Formula

The quadratic formula

         −b ± sqrt(b^2−4ac)

x=     ————————-          

                      2a

Works for every quadratic.


Parts of the formula

  • b^2 – 4ac is the discriminant

  • It tells how many solutions exist


Discriminant meanings

  • Positive → two real solutions

  • Zero → one real solution

  • Negative → no real solutions
