Quadratic Equation

From Latin quadratus, “square”

Used for computing trajectories in projectile motion

Used to control step response and stability in amplifiers

ax2 + bx + c = 0
where x is a variable; a, b, and c are constants; a ≠ 0

a, b, and c are called the quadratic coefficient, the linear coefficient, and the constant term, respectively

A quadratic equation with real or complex coefficients has two solutions, called roots. These two solutions may or may not be distinct, and they may or may not be real. They are found with the quadratic formula:

x = (-b ± √(b2 - 4ac))/ 2a
