Given a quadratic equation, the task is to find the possible solutions to it.
Examples:
Input : enter the coef of x2 : 1 enter the coef of x : 2 enter the constant : 1 Output : the value for x is -1.0 Input : enter the coef of x2 : 2 enter the coef of x : 3 enter the constant : 2 Output : x1 = -3+5.656854249492381i/4 and x2 = -3-5.656854249492381i/4
Algorithm :
Start. Prompt the values for a, b, c. Compute i = b**2-4*a*c If i get negative value g=square root(-i) Else h = sqrt(i) Compute e = -b+h/(2*a) Compute f = -b-h/(2*a) If condition e==f then Print e Else Print e and f If i is negative then Print -b+g/(2*a) and -b-g/(2*a) stop
Below is the Python implementation of the above mentioned task.
Python3
# Python program for solving a quadratic equation. from math import sqrt try : # if user gives non int values it will go to except block a = 1 b = 2 c = 1 i = b * * 2 - 4 * a * c # magic condition for complex values g = sqrt( - i) try : d = sqrt(i) # two resultants e = ( - b + d) / 2 * a f = ( - b - d) / 2 * a if e = = f: print ( "the values for x is " + str (e)) else : print ( "the value for x1 is " + str (e) + " and x2 is " + str (f)) except ValueError: print ( "the result for your equation is in complex" ) # to print complex resultants. print ( "x1 = " + str ( - b) + "+" + str (g) + "i/" + str ( 2 * a) + " and x2 = " + str ( - b) + "-" + str (g) + "i/" + str ( 2 * a)) except ValueError: print ( "enter a number not a string or char" ) |
Output :
the values for x is -1.0
Explanation :
First, this program will get three inputs from the user. The values are the coefficient of , coefficient of and constant. Then it performs the formula
For complex the value of gets negative. Rooting negative values will throw a value error. In this case, turn the result of and then root it. Don’t forget to include at last.
