AlgebraRootsParabolaDiscriminantEquation
Solve any quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 — find real or complex roots, vertex, axis of symmetry, and visualize the parabola on a dynamic SVG chart.

Key Features

Real & Complex Roots
Handles all three discriminant cases: two real roots (Δ > 0), a double root (Δ = 0), and complex conjugate roots (Δ < 0).
Discriminant Display
Shows Δ = b² − 4ac so you can verify the nature of the roots at a glance.
Vertex & Axis of Symmetry
Computes the vertex (−b/2a, c − b²/4a) and axis of symmetry x = −b/2a.
SVG Parabola
Plots the parabola with the vertex in amber and real roots in red. The viewport auto-scales.
