Can you solve quadratic equations by factoring?
Yes. The quadratic solver uses the full quadratic formula and shows the discriminant. When roots are whole numbers or simple fractions, the factored form is also identifiable from the roots. For example, x² − 5x + 6 = 0 gives x = 2 and x = 3, meaning it factors as (x − 2)(x − 3) = 0.
How does the system of equations solver work?
The system solver uses Cramer’s Rule with determinants. You provide the six coefficients of both equations and the calculator finds exact x and y values. If the determinant is zero, it detects whether the lines are parallel (no solution) or identical (infinite solutions).
How do the roots and radical tools work?
The square root tool finds the largest perfect-square factor of your number and rewrites the radical in simplest form (e.g. √72 = 6√2). The nth root tool computes any degree root. The radical equation tool solves √(ax+b) = c by squaring both sides and showing each step, including verifying the solution avoids extraneous roots.
Does this show step-by-step working for inequalities?
Yes. The inequality solver shows every step including the crucial sign-flip rule when dividing by a negative coefficient. The final answer is shown both as an inequality and in interval notation.

This algebra solver is provided for educational and verification purposes. While results are computed accurately using the math.js library and custom algorithms, this tool is not a substitute for formal mathematics instruction. Always verify your answers and consult a qualified teacher or tutor for deeper learning. Floating-point rounding may occur for very large or very small values.
