Explanation:
It seems there might be a slight confusion in your question. The quadratic formula is generally used to find the roots (or solutions) of a quadratic equation. The quadratic formula is given by:
\[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \]
Here, \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are coefficients of the quadratic equation \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\).
If you encounter a situation where the expression inside the square root (\(b^2 - 4ac\)) is negative, it means that the quadratic equation has complex roots. In this case, you can use imaginary numbers.
The complex roots are of the form:
\[ x = \frac{-b \pm i\sqrtb^2 - 4ac}{2a} \]
Here, \(i\) is the imaginary unit, and \(\sqrtb^2 - 4ac\) represents the imaginary part of the root.
