State
The quadratic formula solves every quadratic in standard form: x = (−b ± √(b² − 4ac)) / (2a).
Show
For 2x² + 5x − 3 = 0: x = (−5 ± √49)/4 = (−5 ± 7)/4, landing on 1/2 and −3.
Watch for
The formula is completing the square, run once for all time.
Builds on
- Nothing — this is a starting point.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
