Quadratic Equation Calculator

A quadratic equation has the basic form: ax2+bx+c=0
eq2
Enter the coefficients a, b, and c of the quadratic equation in its basic standardized form. The solution of a quadratic equation usually consists of two distinct real or complex roots, or one double root — calculated using the discriminant.


Calculation:

152=182y2 y299=0 y1,2=±99=±9.949874371 y1=9.949874371 y2=9.949874371 

Solution in text:

y2-99=0 ... b=0; pure quadratic equation

Discriminant:
D = b2 - 4ac = 396
D > 0 ... The equation has two distinct real roots

y1 = 9.9498744
y2 = -9.9498744

P = {9.9498744; -9.9498744}
