Question:How to find a b and c in a quadratic equation in the format of ax^2+bx+c: 2x^2+4x+-1.
Answer
#include<stdio.h> #include<math.h> int main(){ float a,b,c; float d,root1,root2; printf("Enter quadratic equation in the format ax^2+bx+c: "); scanf("%fx^2%fx%f",&a,&b,&c); d = b * b - 4 * a * c; if(d < 0){ printf("Roots are complex number.\n"); return 0; } root1 = ( -b + sqrt(d)) / (2* a); root2 = ( -b - sqrt(d)) / (2* a); printf("Roots of quadratic equation are: %.3f , %.3f",root1,root2); return 0; }Sample output: Enter quadratic equation in the format ax^2+bx+c: 2x^2+4x+-1 Roots of quadratic equation are: 0.000, -2.000
