You can put this solution on YOUR website!
It depends on the particular quadratic equation but...
You can always solve a quadratic equation using the quadratic formula: x+=+%28-b%2B-sqrt%28b%5E2-4ac%29%29%2F2a.
You can always solve a quadratic equation by "completing the square".
You can sometimes solve a quadratic equation by factoring.
...and, when all else fails, you can solve quadratic equations using your calculator, if it is equiped for that!
