Calculate Roots Of a Quadratic Equation Using C Program

Tw eet 1 Like 1 2

Hi everyone In this post, we're going how to write a C program to calculate the roots of a quadratic equation. As we know that a quadratic equation is of a form like:

ax^2+bx+c=0
So we won't go into much details. Also you guys must be knowing to calculate the roots of a quadratic equation directly, having formula:

Roots = ( -b + (b^2 - 4ac) ) / 2a & ( -b - (b^2 - 4ac) ) / 2a

So we are just going to use the same formula in our C code. So Let's begin...

Program Explanation:
The program is self explanatory in itself. First we take the coefficients of the quadratic equation as

In each of the case, we can get different types of roots, Unique, Equal or Complex respectively. Using the formula as I described in the beginning of this post, we calculate roots, with an exception in case of complex roots, whereby, we have to find real and imaginary parts of the roots individually, using the formula: Real Part = -b/(2*a) Imaginary Part = sqrt(-x)/(2*a) -> Since determinant is negative here, we make it positive by multiplying an extra '-'.
