A quadratic equation is just a special type of polynomial equation where the highest power of the variable (usually $x$ ) is 2. The standard form always looks like this: $$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$$ Where: $a$ , $b$ , and $c$ are constant numbers (coefficients). $a$ cannot be zero (otherwise, it would just be a linear equation, not a quadratic one!). $x$ is the unknown variable you need to solve for.
