What is the quadratic formula?

• $x=\frac{b-\sqrt{\left(b\right)^2-4\left(a\right)\left(c\right)}}{2\left(a\right)}$

• $x=\frac{-\left(b\right)\pm\sqrt{\left(b\right)^2-4\left(a\right)\left(c\right)}}{2\left(a\right)}$

• $x=\frac{\left(b\right)\pm\sqrt{\left(b\right)^2-4\left(a\right)\left(c\right)}}{2a}$

• $x=-\left(b\right)\pm\sqrt{b\pm4\left(a\right)\left(c\right)}$
