x = -b +/- the square root of (b^2 - 4ac) / 2a
but it's easier to say it than type it
x equals the opposite of b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4ac, all over 2 times a
my eighth grade math teacher taught it to me in song to the tune of the Notre Dame fight song. it is forever in my head.

x= -b+or - sqrt(b^2-4ac) all over 2a
You should make all equations that you want to use the quadratic equation for look like this: +or -ax^2+or -bx+or - c
just plug in the values of all the variables. If you need more help try this site. Purple Math is an excellent algebra resource.

This is the quadratic formula.
a quadratic equation is really a polynomial that is raised to the second degree which means that it starts with a term that is squared
like: 2x^2-4x+22

The variable quantity is x and questions ask for values of x to be calculated.
a , b and c are constants.
A quadratic equation would then be shown as:-
ax² + bx + c = 0
5x² + 2x - 7 = 0 is an example chosen at random.

an equation that its largest degree is two
the general formula for that is: ax^2+bx+c=0 where b and c can get zero value, but a cants
