Frequently asked questions

What equation form does this solve?

It solves quadratic equations in the standard form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a must not be zero.

What does the discriminant show?

The discriminant b² - 4ac determines the root type: positive gives two real roots, zero gives one repeated real root, and negative gives complex roots.

What is the vertex?

The vertex is the turning point of the parabola. Its x-coordinate is -b / 2a, and the y-coordinate is found by substituting that x-value back into the quadratic.
