Grafieke van die reële waardes van die kwadratiese vergelyking ax2 + bx + c (parabool)
'n Kwadratiese vergelyking (of vierkantsvergelyking) is 'n wiskundige vergelyking in die vorm:
'n Kwadratiese vergelyking gee 'n parabool op 'n grafiek.

Om die kwadratiese formule af te lei, kyk ons na die volgende voorbeeld:

Deel elke term nou met 2:






Doen nou dieselfde vir die algemene vergelyking:

Deel elke term nou met a:
