Answer:

It solves all quadratic equations for any real or imaginary solutions.

Explanation:

The quadratic formula is


x=(-b+√(b^2-4ac) )/(2a).

It is important because while some quadratics are factorable and can be solved not all are. The formula will solve all quadratic equations and can also give both real and imaginary solutions.
