A quadratic equation has two roots. They may be similar or dissimilar. As the highest power of a quadratic equation is 2 , there are 2 roots. Similarly, in the cubic equation, the highest power is 3, so it has three equal or unequal roots. So the highest power of an equation is the answer to the no of roots of that particular equation.
The quadratic formula is used to solve the quadratic equation. Many equations in which the variable is squared can be written as a quadratic equation, and then solved with the quadratic formula.
The answer is two. Despite its name seems to suggest something to do with four, in a quadratic equation the unknown appears at most to the power of two and so is said to be of second degree. The theorem than pertains here is that the number of roots an equation has is equal to its degrees. However, some of the roots can be repeated - an nth degree equation need not have n different roots. Also the roots do not have to be real. However complex roots ( no real) come in pairs so an equation of odd degree must have at least one real root. A quadratic possibly has no real roots.

A quadratic can be used to represent many different things, such as parabolic/satellite dishes and the flight of ballistic projectiles.
There are many equations that are neither linear nor quadratic. A simple example is a cubic equation, such as y = x3, or a logarithmic equation, such as y = ln(x).
2 roots
The quadratic formula is used to solve the quadratic equation. Many equations in which the variable is squared can be written as a quadratic equation, and then solved with the quadratic formula.
Quadratics can two, one or no real roots.
It will have two equal roots.
roots
If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is 0 then it has two equal real roots.

A quadratic equation can have a maximum of 2 solutions. If the discriminant (b2-4ac) turns out to be less than 0, the equation will have no real roots. If the Discriminant is equal to 0, it will have equal roots. But, if the discriminant turns out to be more than 0,then the equation will have unequal and real roots.
If the discriminant of a quadratic equal is zero then it will have two equal roots.
If it was expressed as a quadratic equation it would have no roots because the discriminant is less than zero
A quadratic equation has one discriminant.
If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is less then 0 then it will have no real solutions.
