C# coding a quadratic formula

I have been given a task to create a console app that can solve a quadratic in any of its forms. Only dealing with x² (For example: Ax²+Bx+C=0). Or would it be easier to code a formula if the equation were in another form (For example: (x + A)(x + C)=0 )? Please any help would be much appreciated

Can you provide a bit more details? Like what is the input supposed to be, because if it's a string: For example the user types in: "9x^2+4x - 23", then that is going to be A LOT more complicated then you may think. However, if we are just keeping track of variables: For example user is asked to input the value of A, the value of B, and the value of C. Then this will be a lot easier to help you out with.
