- Quadratic Root Solver For a general quadratic equation y = ax? + bx + c, the roots can be classified into three categories depending upon the value of the discriminant which is given by b2 - 4ac First, if the discriminant is equal to 0, there is only one real root. Then, if the discriminant is a positive value, there are two roots which are real and unequal. The roots can be computed as follows: -b+ Vb? – 4ac 2a Further, if the discriminant is a negative value, then there are two imaginary roots. In this case, the roots are given by b ь? - 4ас 2a 2a Programming tasks: A text file, coeff.txt has the following information: coeff.txt 3 4 4 4 1 4 Each line represents the values of a, b and c, for a quadratic equation.
