Quadratic Formula Calculator

Solve quadratic equations (ax² + bx + c = 0) with step-by-step solutions, including the discriminant, roots, and vertex.

Enter the coefficients of ax² + bx + c = 0. Coefficient a must not be zero.

About Quadratic Formula Calculator

This free quadratic formula calculator solves equations of the form ax² + bx + c = 0 using the standard quadratic formula. It computes the discriminant (Δ = b² − 4ac) to determine the nature of the roots — real and distinct, real and equal (double root), or complex conjugates. The calculator also shows the vertex coordinates of the parabola, its direction (opens up or down), and the y-intercept. Every step is calculated locally in your browser — zero data leaves your device.
