How to use Quadratic Equation Solver
The discriminant b²−4ac determines whether roots are distinct real, repeated, or complex conjugates. Coefficients are scaled, and the real-root calculation avoids unnecessary cancellation.
- Enter coefficient a, coefficient b, coefficient c.
- Check that the input follows the stated limits and uses consistent units.
- Run the calculator, review the result, then copy or download it.
Good to know
- Coefficient a must be nonzero. Floating-point coefficients close to a repeated-root boundary may change the discriminant sign.
- Decimal inputs have at most 120 characters and magnitude from 1e-100 to 1e15, or zero. Floating-point results are rounded to 12 significant digits; extreme derived results may underflow or be rejected. Exact integer results are identified separately.
Common questions
What calculation does Quadratic Equation Solver perform?
The discriminant b²−4ac determines whether roots are distinct real, repeated, or complex conjugates. Coefficients are scaled, and the real-root calculation avoids unnecessary cancellation.
Can this solve a linear equation?
No. A zero quadratic coefficient is rejected; use the linear system solver for linear equations.
