Your result

Complete the fields and calculate.

Calculation method and formula

Coefficient a × x² + Coefficient b × x + Coefficient c = 0

Understand the inputs

Coefficient a
Use a measured value or your own assumption.
Coefficient b
Use a measured value or your own assumption.
Coefficient c
Use a measured value or your own assumption.

Assumptions and limitations

Calculations use real numbers. Logarithms require positive arguments; roots and powers are not defined for every combination. Trigonometric angles are entered in degrees.

The formula uses the specified units. Displayed numbers are rounded; whole packs, item counts and full time periods may also be rounded within the calculation.
