quadratic equations

Algebra's curved solutions

Quadratic equations are polynomial equations of the second degree, containing a variable raised to the power of two as the highest term.

The standard form is ax² + bx + c = 0, where a is not zero.

Solutions can be found by factoring, completing the square, or applying the quadratic formula.

The quadratic equation describes the trajectory of a thrown ball.
