You convert the equation to the form:
ax2 + bx + c = 0,
replace the numeric values (a, b, c) in the quadratic formula, and calculate.

By knowing how to use the quadratic equation formula.
All you do is set the quadratic function to equal to 0. Then you can either factor or use the quadratic formula to solve for your unknown variable.
The quadratic formula is x=-b±√b^2-4ac divided by 2a. You can only use this formula to solve the quadratic equation: ax^2+bx+c=0 If you were to punch the quadratic formula in the calculator, you would have to punch in the formula except replace the variables with the numbers from the equation. Ex. x^2+2x+1=0 a=1; b=2; c=1 In the calculator you would punch in x=-2±√2^2-4(1)(1) Or simply the equation without x=
Graph the equation then find the x intercepts.
x2 - 8x + 32 = 0 (assuming)you can factor or use the quadratic equation.I recommend the quadratic equation.
