The Quadratic Formula, symbolized as x = [-b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)] / (2a), comes into play when determining the solutions of a quadratic equation in the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0. This formula is instrumental in computing the x-intercepts of the parabola, offering x values even when the equation cannot be factored.
