Quadratic equation calculator

Quadratic equation has the basic form: ax2+bx+c=0
eq2
Enter the quadratic equation's coefficients a, b, and c of its basic standardized form. A solution of quadratic equations is usually two different real or complex roots or one double root — the calculation using the discriminant.


Calculation:

202=(a/2)2+(2a/2)2 1.25a2+400=0 1.25a2400=0 a1,2=±400/1.25=±17.88854382 a1=17.88854382 a2=17.88854382 

Solution in text:

-1.25a2+400=0 ... b=0; pure quadratic equation

Discriminant:
D = b2 - 4ac = 2000
D > 0 ... The equation has two distinct real roots

a1 = 17.8885438
a2 = -17.8885438

P = {17.8885438; -17.8885438}
