Quadratic Equation
A Quadratic Equation
(a, b, and c can have any value, except that a can't be 0.)

Try changing a, b and c to see what the graph looks like. Also see the "roots" (the solutions to the equation). Then read more about the Quadratic Equation.

Roots

The "roots" are the solutions to the equation.

When the curve crosses the x-axis (y=0) you will have:

When the curve does not cross the line there are still solutions, but:
