如何计算Quadratic Formula
learn.whatIsHeading
The quadratic formula solves any equation of the form ax² + bx + c = 0 for x. It works for all quadratics — even ones that cannot be factored — making it the most universal solving method. The formula was known to Babylonian mathematicians as early as 2000 BC.
分步指南
- 1Arrange the equation in standard form: ax² + bx + c = 0
- 2Identify a (coefficient of x²), b (coefficient of x), c (constant)
- 3Calculate the discriminant: Δ = b² − 4ac
- 4If Δ ≥ 0: substitute into x = (−b ± √Δ) / 2a for two real roots
- 5If Δ < 0: the equation has two complex (non-real) roots
