Let the two equations be of the form
a1*x^2+b1*x+c1 = 0
a2*x^2+b2*x+c2 = 0
then if
(1/4)*a2*b1^2/a^2+(-(1/2)*b2/a+(1/2)*a2*(b1^2-4*a1*c1)^(1/2)/a^2)*b1+(1/4)*a2*(b1^2-4*a1*c1)/a^2+c2-(1/2)*b2*(b1^2-4*a1*c1)^(1/2)/a
is 0, then the common root is
(-b1-sqrt(b1^2-4*a1*c1))/(2*a)
and otherwise the common root is
(-b1+sqrt(b1^2-4*a1*c1))/(2*a)
Provided, that is, that there really is a common root.
