How to Solve Quadratic Equations Using Formula 

The quadratic equation formula to solve the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 is x = [-b ± √(b2 – 4ac)]/2a. Here we obtain the two values of x, by applying the plus and minus symbols in this formula. Hence the two possible values of x are [-b + √(b2 – 4ac)]/2a, and [-b – √(b2 – 4ac)]/2a
