what is the quadratic formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of this form ax^2+bx+c=0

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

\[\Huge x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its sooo beautiful^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=[-b + - sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the number under the square root: b^2-4ac is called the discriminant. When it is <0 --> there are no real solutions when it is = 0 --> there is only one real solutoin when it it >0 --> there are two real solutions when it is a perfect square --> the solutions will be rational numbers
