Formula & Methodology
The formula for finding zeros of a quadratic equation is:
x = [-B ± √(B² – 4AC)] / (2A)
Our calculator uses this formula to find the zeros and displays them below the calculator.
Real-World Examples
Example 1
Equation: 2x² – 5x + 3 = 0
Zeros: x = 0.5, x = 1.5
Example 2
Equation: x² – 4x + 3 = 0
Zeros: x = 1, x = 3
Example 3
Equation: 3x² + 2x – 1 = 0
Zeros: x = -1/3, x = 1

Interactive FAQ
What are the zeros of a quadratic equation?
The zeros of a quadratic equation are the values of x that make the equation equal to zero.
Why are zeros important?
Zeros are important because they represent the points where a quadratic function crosses the x-axis, providing valuable insights into the function’s behavior.
