Question No. 1
This programming example demonstrates a program that calculates a customer’s bill for a local
cable company. There are two types of customers: residential and business. There are two rates for
calculating a cable bill: one for residential customers and one for business customers.
For residential customers, the following rates apply:
• Bill processing fee: $4.50
• Basic service fee: $20.50
• Premium channels: $7.50 per channel
For business customers, the following rates apply:
• Bill processing fee: $15.00
• Basic service fee: $75.00 for first 10 connections, $5.00 for each additional connection
• Premium channels: $50.00 per channel for any number of Connections
The program should ask the user for an account number (an integer) and a customer code. Assume
that R or r stands for a residential customer, and B or b stands for a business customer.

Input The customer’s account number, customer code, number of premium channels to
which the user subscribes, and, in the case of business customers, number of basic
service connections.
Output Customer’s account number and the billing amount.
Question No. 2
Create a four-function calculator for fractions. Here are the formulas for the four arithmetic
operations applied to fractions:

Addition: a/b + c/d = (a*d + b*c) / (b*d)

Subtraction: a/b - c/d = (a*d - b*c) / (b*d)
Multiplication: a/b * c/d = (a*c) / (b*d)
Division: a/b / c/d = (a*d) / (b*c)
The user should type the first fraction, an operator, and a second fraction then program should
display the result.

Question No. 3
The roots of the quadratic equation 𝒂𝒙𝟐 + 𝒃𝒙 + 𝒄, 𝒂 ≠ 𝟎 are given by the following formula:

−𝒃 ± √𝒃𝟐 − 𝟒𝒂𝒄
𝟐𝒂
In this formula, the term 𝒃𝟐 − 𝟒𝒂𝒄 is called the discriminant. If 𝒃𝟐 − 𝟒𝒂𝒄 = 𝟎, then the
equation has a single (repeated) root. If 𝒃𝟐 − 𝟒𝒂𝒄 > 𝟎, the equation has two real roots. If 𝒃𝟐 −
𝟒𝒂𝒄 < 𝟎, the equation has two complex roots.
Write a C++ program that prompt the user to input the value of a (the coefficient of 𝑥 2 ), b (the
coefficient of 𝑥), and c (the constant term) and outputs the type of roots of the equation.
Furthermore, if 𝒃𝟐 − 𝟒𝒂𝒄 ≥ 𝟎, the program should output the roots of the quadratic equation.
