Question

1. Write a function that uses a, b and c as inputs to characterize

((i.e., non-equal
real, equal real or non-equal complex roots) and
compute the roots of the
quadratic equation.

2. Write an m-file that tells the user if the quadratic equation

ax2 + bx + c = 0 with
input
values of a, b and c has

1) Two real roots with opposite

signs

2) Two complex roots

3) Plot the curve

ax2 + bx + c = 0 over
sufficient intervals (i.e., from 0.9 times of the
smallest root to
1.1 of the largest root ) to illustrate the results obtained in (1)
and (2).

%% computing roots
of equation
r1 = (-b + D.^0.5)./(2.*a);

%% testing of given function

[root1,root2] = characterise(1,0,-1);
display(root1); display(root2);

[root1,root2] = characterise(1,-2,1);
display(root1); display(root2);

[root1,root2] = characterise(1,0,1);
display(root1); display(root2);
