(Algebra: solve quadratic equations) The two roots of a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 can be obtained using the following formula:
b2 − 4ac is called the discriminant of the quadratic equation. If it is positive, the equation has two real roots. If it is zero, the equation has one root. If it is negative, the equation has no real roots.
Write a
Note you can use Math. pow(x, 0.5) to compute

Algebra: solve quadratic equation
Program Plan:
- Import the required packages.
- Create a class Exercise
- Define the main method.
- Define the scanner input and prompt user to enter the value of a,b,c.
- Get the input.
- Calculate the discriminant value.
- Condition to validate the discriminant value.
- After validation the value gets of the root gets calculated based on the condition.
- Display the result of roots.
The below program is used to solve the quadratic equation:
Explanation of Solution
Program:
//import the required packages
import java.util.Scanner;
//define the class exercise
public class Exercise
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
//scanner input
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
/*prompt user to enter the value of the a,b and c*/
System.out.print("Enter a, b, c: ");
//get value of a
double a = input.nextDouble();
//get value of b
double b = input.nextDouble();
//get value of c
double c = input.nextDouble();
//equation to calculate the discriminant
double discriminant = b * b - 4 * a * c;
//condition to validate the discriminant value
if (discriminant < 0)
{
//display result
System.out.println("The equation has no real roots");
}
//condition to validate the discriminant value
else if (discriminant == 0)
{
//equation to calculate the root value
double r1 = -b / (2 * a);
//display result
System.out.println("The equation has one root " + r1);
}
//condition to validate the discriminant value
else
{
// (discriminant > 0)
//equation to calculate the root value
double r1 = (-b + Math.pow(discriminant, 0.5)) / (2 * a);
//equation to calculate the root value
double r2 = (-b - Math.pow(discriminant, 0.5)) / (2 * a);
//display result
System.out.println("The equation has two roots " + r1 + " and " + r2);
}
}
}
Enter a, b, c: 1

- Why is JAVA OOP is really difficult to study?arrow_forwardMy daughter is a Girl Scout and it is time for our cookie sales. There are 15 neighbors nearby and she plans to visit every neighbor this evening. There is a 40% likelihood that someone will be home. If someone is home, there is an 85% likelihood that person will make a purchase. If a purchase is made, the revenue generated from the sale follows the Normal distribution with mean $18 and standard deviation $5. Using @RISK, simulate our door-to-door sales using at least 1000 iterations and report the expected revenue, the maximum revenue, and the average number of purchasers. What is the probability that the revenue will be greater than $120?arrow_forwardQ4 For the network of Fig. 1.41: a- Determine re b- Find Aymid =VolVi =Vo/Vi c- Calculate Zi. d- Find Ay smid e-Determine fL, JLC, and fLE f-Determine the low cutoff frequency. g- Sketch the asymptotes of the Bode plot defined by the cutoff frequencies of part (e). h-Sketch the low-frequency response for the amplifier using the results of part (f).

Create a database name "dbXXXXXX" Select the database using the "use [database name]" command. Now you are in the database. Based on the above schema from Enrolment System database, create all the tables with the last 6 digits of "123456", then the table name for table Lecturer should be "123456_Lecturer". Refer to basic SQL lecture note to create table that has primary keys and Foreign Keys. Provide the datatype of each attributes. Add a column called "Department" with datatype "VARCHAR(12)" to the table "Lecturer". Shows the metadata of the updated "Lecturer" table. (Use Describe command) Drop the "Department" column from the table "Lecturer", and show the metadata of the updated "Lecturer" table. Insert three (3) data to each of the table in the tables created.
