Frequently Asked Questions

What types of equations can it solve?
Linear equations (ax + b = c) and quadratic equations (ax² + bx + c = 0). Enter the coefficients and get step-by-step solutions.
What if the discriminant is negative?
A negative discriminant means the quadratic has no real solutions — only complex (imaginary) roots. The solver will tell you this.
Can it solve systems of equations?
Not yet — the current version handles single-variable equations. System solving is planned for a future update.
What does step-by-step mean?
The solver shows each mathematical step: applying the quadratic formula, calculating the discriminant, and deriving each root.
