Step-by-step Solution
The Quadratic Formula
For the equation ax² + bx + c = 0, the roots are given by: x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)
The Discriminant
The discriminant D = b² - 4ac determines the nature of roots:
If D > 0: Two distinct real roots. If D = 0: One repeated real root. If D < 0: Two complex conjugate roots.
