DEFINITION
What Does The Formula
Do ?
The Quadratic formula allows you to find the roots of a quadratic equation
(if they exist) even if the quadratic equation does not factorise.

The formula states that for a quadratic equation of the form :


ax2 + bx + c = 0
The roots of the quadratic equation are given by :

−𝑏 ± √ 𝑏 − 4 𝑎𝑐 2
𝑥=
2𝑎
Example 1 Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation :
x 2 + 5x + 6= 0

Solution: −5 ± √ 25 − 24
𝑥=
