Question 372140: If I have a solution how can I create a quadric equation

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can't, in general. That is because you need two solutions to create a quadratic. However, in some cases, the character of the solution that you do have allows you to deduce the solution that you don't have.
For example, if you have a solution that looks like
Then, because of symmetry, the other solution is guaranteed to be:
 .
Likewise, if you have a single complex number solution, then the other solution is the conjugate of that complex number.
On the other hand, if you only have one rational number solution, you are at a dead end, unless you know that your single rational solution has a multiplicity of two.
Given that you do have two solutions, let's call them  and  , all you have to do is calculate the product:
(x\ -\ \beta))
And set that product equal to zero.
In the case where you have one solution with a multiplicity of two, meaning you have two identical solutions, you can calculate:
^2)
