How to form a quadratic equation?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the steps or methods to create a quadratic equation. This typically involves understanding its standard form, which is ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where 'a', 'b', and 'c' are constants. The user may be looking for guidance on how to derive or construct this equation based on certain conditions or roots.
Answer
ax² + bx + c = 0
A quadratic equation is formed by inserting the coefficients 'a', 'b', and 'c' into the template ax² + bx + c = 0, ensuring that 'a' is not equal to zero.
