The quadratic equation
This is followed by an equation on the next line which reads "the sum from i = 0 to 2 a subscript i x superscript i equals 0". This is then followed by the line:
has solutions given by
This line is followed by another equation which reads "x equals (minus a subscript 1 plus or minus the square root of (a subscript 1 squared minus 4 times a subscript 2 times a subscript 0)) divided by (2 times a subscript 2)".
