How to use
- Enter the three coefficients a, b, and c for the equation ax² + bx + c = 0.
- The equation preview updates live as you type so you can verify your input.
- a must not be zero — otherwise the equation is linear, not quadratic.
- Click Solve to get the roots, discriminant, vertex, and axis of symmetry.
- When the discriminant is negative, the roots are complex (a ± bi format).
- Full step-by-step working using the quadratic formula is shown below the results.
