Quadratic equations typically appear in the form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants. The quadratic formula, x = (–b ± √(b² – 4ac)) / (2a), is a universal method to find the roots (solutions). For example, to solve x² + 5x + 6 = 0, identify a=1, b=5, c=6. Plug these into the formula: x = (–5 ± √(25 – 24)) / (2) = (–5 ± 1) / 2, so the solutions are x = –3 and x = –2. Quadratic equations describe projectile motion, optimization problems, and many natural phenomena. Mastering the formula ensures you can handle everything from physics tasks to architecture and beyond.
