Quadratic Equation Solver
Solve ax² + bx + c = 0 and review real or complex roots, discriminant and vertex.
1. Set up your workspace
Coefficients are finite numbers up to ±1 billion. A zero a becomes a linear equation. Floating-point results are approximations; small discriminants can be sensitive to input precision.
2. Review & use your result
Review the example inputs, then use solve equation.

Questions & answers
How do I use this tool?
Solve ax² + bx + c = 0 and review real or complex roots, discriminant and vertex. Load the editable example, replace its values and use the main action button.
What should I check before using the result?
Coefficients are finite numbers up to ±1 billion. A zero a becomes a linear equation. Floating-point results are approximations; small discriminants can be sensitive to input precision.

Processing runs in your browser without a tool account or saved history. Download your result to keep a copy. Website advertising follows our privacy information.
Can I export or print it?
Copy and file download are available after generating a result. Print produces a clean copy of the visible result; use your browser’s Save as PDF option if needed.
Can it solve a linear equation too?
Yes. Setting a to zero reduces the equation to bx + c = 0. If both a and b are zero, it reports either no solution or every x as a solution according to c.
