Next step is to move the constant, in this case c/a to the right
side of the equation.
Finally, move the constant on the left side to the right side
and you have your two final answers. Remember also to
rationalize the denominator.
• "a" is the coefficient of the squared term (quadratic term) in the equation.
• "b" is the coefficient of the unsquared term (linear term) in the equation.
• "c" is the constant in the equation.
• Discriminant: b 2 – 4ac. Checking the value of the discriminant tells about the solutions:
• b 2 – 4ac > 0 indicates there are two real solutions.
• b 2 – 4ac = 0 indicates there is only one solution.
• b 2 – 4ac < 0 indicates there are no real solutions.
