How do you solve a quadratic equation using the quadratic formula?

Answer 1

Eric Oconnell

To solve a quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, follow these steps: For a quadratic equation in the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, the quadratic formula is x = (-b ± √(b² – 4ac)) / (2a). Substitute the values of a, b, and c into the formula, then calculate the discriminant (b² – 4ac). Finally, solve for x by completing the operations indicated in the formula.
