Evaluate Quadratic Formula
Use the formula for ax² + bx + c = 0 with a ≠ 0. The discriminant determines the root type.
Formula: x = [−b ± √(b²−4ac)] ÷ 2a
Use exact values where the method requires them, then round only at the final step when possible. Early rounding can slightly change the displayed answer.
The formula provides a direct way to verify the result without relying on a second calculator.
