It is not at all clear what you mean by "the value of the quadratic formula".

The quadratic formula finds the roots (zeros) of a quadratic function using the coefficients of the function. If that is what you are asking, then...



That answer of course corresponds to the function in factored form:

%284x%5E2%2B4x%2B1%29+=+%282x%2B1%29%5E2 --> 2x%2B1+=+0 --> x+=+-1%2F2
