Root 1 (x₁)

2.0000

The first real root, valid when the discriminant is non-negative.

Discriminant

1.00

If positive, two real roots exist. If zero, one root. If negative, the roots are complex (not shown).

Root 2 (x₂)

1.0000

The second real root, valid when the discriminant is non-negative.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the quadratic formula?

The quadratic formula, x = (-b ± √(b²-4ac)) / 2a, solves any equation in the form ax² + bx + c = 0 for its roots (the values of x where the equation equals zero).

What does a negative discriminant mean?

A negative discriminant (b²-4ac < 0) means the equation has no real roots — only complex roots, which this calculator does not display.

What if a equals 0?

If a = 0, the equation is no longer quadratic (it becomes linear), and the quadratic formula does not apply. Make sure a is non-zero.
