How to write a quadratic equation solver using vectors

6 views (last 30 days)
function [quadRoots,disc] = Q1_19041694(coeff)
coeff = (a b c);
disc = sqrt((b^2) - (4*a*c));
x1 = (disc - b)./(2*a);
x2 = (-b-disc)./(2*a);
if disc > 0
quadRoots = [x1,x2];
elseif disc == 0
quadRoots = x1;
else
quadRoots = (NaN)^4;
end

// floor function returns greatest integer below ( -b + sqrt(temp) )

// store both roots calculated in vector
// max function returns greater value between root1 and root2
// min function returns smaller value between root1 and root2
