The calculator below solves the quadratic equation of
ax2 + bx + c = 0
.
In algebra, a quadratic equation is any polynomial equation of the second degree with the following form:
ax2 + bx + c = 0
where x is an unknown, a is referred to as the quadratic coefficient, b the linear coefficient, and c the constant. The numerals
a, b, and c are coefficients of the equation, and they represent known numbers. For example, a cannot be 0, or the equation would be linear rather than quadratic. A quadratic equation can be solved in multiple ways, including factoring, using the quadratic formula, completing the square, or graphing. Only the use of the quadratic formula, as well as the basics of completing the square, will be discussed here (since the derivation of the formula involves completing the
square). Below is the quadratic formula, as well as its derivation.
Derivation of the Quadratic Formula
From this point, it is possible to complete the square using the relationship that:
x2 + bx + c = (x - h)2 + k
Continuing the derivation
using this relationship:
Recall that the ± exists as a function of computing a square root, making both positive and negative roots solutions of the quadratic equation. The x values found through the quadratic formula are roots of the quadratic equation that represent the x values where any parabola crosses the x-axis. Furthermore, the quadratic formula also provides the
axis of symmetry of the parabola. This is demonstrated by the graph provided below. Note that the quadratic formula actually has many real-world applications, such as calculating areas, projectile trajectories, and speed, among others.

Our users: We are still both novices with the program, but have seen its benefits nonetheless. Matt Canin, IA Algebrator is a great product. I love how easy it is to use, and how easy it makes algebra seem. L.J., Utah I originally bought Algebrator for my wife because she was struggling with her algebra homework. Now only did it help with each problem, it also explained the steps for each. Now my wife uses the
program to check her answers. Stephanie Cummings, AZ Students struggling with all kinds of algebra problems find out that our software is a life-saver. Here are the search phrases that today's searchers used to find our site. Can you find yours among them?

How do you change a quadratic equation into standard form?
The process of converting the vertex form of a quadratic equation into the standard form is pretty simple and it is done by simply evaluating (x - h)2 = (x - h) (x - h) and simplifying.
