Formula
ax 2 + bx + c = 0
where a ≠ 0. (For a = 0, the equation becomes a
linear equation.)
The letters a, b, and c are called coefficients: the
quadratic coefficient a is the coefficient of x2, the
linear coefficient b is the coefficient of x, and c is
the constant coefficient, also called the free term or
constant term.
