Quadratic Equation Solver

Enter the coefficients a, b, and c of a quadratic equation (ax² + bx + c = 0) to solve for its roots, real or complex.

How to use this tool

  1. 1Enter coefficients a, b, and c.
  2. 2See the discriminant and both roots.
  3. 3Complex roots are shown if the discriminant is negative.

Frequently asked questions

What does the discriminant tell you?+
