C++ Program to Find All Roots of a Quadratic Equation

To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of the following C++ programming topics:

For a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c = 0 (where a, b and c are coefficients), it’s roots is given by following the formula.

Formula to find root of an quadratic equation

Formula to Find Roots of Quadratic Equation

The term b2-4ac is known as the discriminant of a quadratic equation. The discriminant tells the nature of the roots.

  • If discriminant is greater than 0, the roots are real and different.
  • If discriminant is equal to 0, the roots are real and equal.
  • If discriminant is less than 0, the roots are complex and different.

Example: Roots of a Quadratic Equation


              

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

int main() {

    float a, b, c, x1, x2, discriminant, realPart, imaginaryPart;
    cout << "Enter coefficients a, b and c: ";
    cin >> a >> b >> c;
    discriminant = b*b - 4*a*c;

    if (discriminant > 0) {
        x1 = (-b + sqrt(discriminant)) / (2*a);
        x2 = (-b - sqrt(discriminant)) / (2*a);
        cout << "Roots are real and different." << endl;
        cout << "x1 = " << x1 << endl;
        cout << "x2 = " << x2 << endl;
    }

    else if (discriminant == 0) {
        cout << "Roots are real and same." << endl;
        x1 = -b/(2*a);
        cout << "x1 = x2 =" << x1 << endl;
    }

    else {
        realPart = -b/(2*a);
        imaginaryPart =sqrt(-discriminant)/(2*a);
        cout << "Roots are complex and different."  << endl;
        cout << "x1 = " << realPart << "+" << imaginaryPart << "i" << endl;
        cout << "x2 = " << realPart << "-" << imaginaryPart << "i" << endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

Output


              

Enter coefficients a, b and c: 4

1
Roots are real and different.
x1 = -0.25
x2 = -1

In this program, sqrt() library function is used to find the square root of a number.
