Solving a Quadratic

Equation using C++


1. Introduction
A quadratic equation is a second-degree polynomial equation of
the form:
ax² + bx + c = 0,(where a, b, and c are constants and a ≠ 0.)

Solving quadratic equations is fundamental in


mathematics and computer science. In this project, we will solve
the quadratic equation:
6x² + 11x − 35 = 0
using C++ programming.

2. Theory of Quadratic Equations


The standard formula to find the roots of a quadratic equation
is:
x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a

The discriminant D = b² - 4ac determines the nature of roots:


- If D > 0: Two distinct real roots
- If D = 0: Two equal real roots
- If D < 0: Complex conjugate roots
In our equation:
a = 6, b = 11, c = -35
Discriminant = 11² − 4×6×(-35) = 121 + 840 = 961 (positive)
Thus, it has two distinct real roots.
3. C++ Code Explanation
To solve this, we:
- Accept or define the coefficients a, b, and c
- Compute the discriminant D
- Apply the quadratic formula
- Display the results

We'll use the <cmath> library to calculate the square root.

4. Complete C++ Code


#include <iostream>

#include <cmath> // For sqrt function

using namespace std;

int main() {

double a = 6, b = 11, c = -35;

double discriminant, root1, root2;

// Calculate the discriminant

discriminant = b * b - 4 * a * c;

cout << "Given Quadratic Equation: 6x^2 + 11x - 35 = 0\


n";

// Check if discriminant is positive, zero or negative

if (discriminant > 0) {

root1 = (-b + sqrt(discriminant)) / (2 * a);


root2 = (-b - sqrt(discriminant)) / (2 * a);

cout << "Roots are real and different.\n";

cout << "Root 1 = " << root1 << endl;

cout << "Root 2 = " << root2 << endl;

} else if (discriminant == 0) {

root1 = root2 = -b / (2 * a);

cout << "Roots are real and equal.\n";

cout << "Root = " << root1 << endl;

} else {

double realPart = -b / (2 * a);

double imaginaryPart = sqrt(-discriminant) / (2 * a);

cout << "Roots are complex and imaginary.\n";

cout << "Root 1 = " << realPart << " + " <<
imaginaryPart << "i\n";

cout << "Root 2 = " << realPart << " - " <<
imaginaryPart << "i\n";

return 0;}

5. Output
Given Quadratic Equation: 6x² + 11x - 35 = 0
Roots are real and different.
Root 1 = 1.66667
Root 2 = -3.5
So, the roots of the equation 6x² + 11x − 35 = 0 are:
- x = 5/3 (≈1.67)
- x = -3.5

6. Conclusion
This project demonstrates how quadratic equations can
be solved easily with C++. By using the discriminant
and the quadratic formula, we computed the exact
roots. This approach can be extended to handle any
type of quadratic equation efficiently.
