Solving Quadratic Equations

A Quadratic Equation of the form: Ax2 + Bx + C = 0 can be solved for real values of x.

This page will solve for these values when the coefficients A,B, and C are entered in the text boxes below.

Try:

  • 2x2 + 5x =12 (shown)
  • 7x2=18x - 11
  • x2 - 12x + 35 = 0

Quadratic Equation:
Ax2 + Bx + C = 0

A =

B =

C =

or

X1 =

X2 =
