Quadratic Equation Solver

Solve quadratic equations (ax² + bx + c = 0) and find real or complex roots using the quadratic formula.

How to Use the Quadratic Equation Solver

  1. 1

    Enter coefficient a

    Input the coefficient of x² (must not be zero).

  2. 2

    Enter coefficient b

    Input the coefficient of x.

  3. 3

    Enter coefficient c

    Input the constant term.

  4. 4

    View solutions

    See both roots, the discriminant, and vertex of the parabola.

💡 Tips & Tricks

  • If a = 0, the equation is linear (not quadratic) — use standard algebra instead.
  • The vertex form y = a(x-h)² + k gives you the maximum or minimum point.
  • Factoring is faster than the formula when the roots are integers.
