Write a MATLAB function that can be used to solve a quadratic equation if answer

Question

Write a MATLAB function that can be used to solve a quadratic equation if answers are real

numbers (you have to do following steps):

ax^2 - 3bx + 4c = 0

. The inputs to the function are the three coefficients a, b, and c.

. Check if the equation has real solutions. If there are no real solution the program should display

‘THERE ARE NO REAL SOLUTIONS.

. Otherwise, calculate the solutions and display them as shown in the following example ( use the

fprintf command showing each solution with 4 decimal points). As example: ‘The solutions are -3.4135 and 9.7435’

.Try to solve two quadratic equations with coefficients: [a, b, c] = [ 1 , 1, -4 ] and [a,b, c] = [ 5 -1 3]

Submit the m file for your function, and the results of both test runs done in MATLAB (again copy and paste them in the word file)

Explanation / Answer

% This m-file will solve the quadratic equation :ax^2 - 3bx + 4c = 0

function Quad= Quadratic(A,B,C)
% A=1;
% B=1;
% C=-4;

%If-Else statement for if A=0

if A==0,
    X= -C/B;
else
    X(1) = (-B+sqrt(B^2-4*A*C))/(2*A);
    X(2) = (-B-sqrt(B^2-4*A*C))/(2*A);

    disp(X(1))
     disp(X(2))
     fprintf('X(1) = %f ',X(1));
    fprintf('X(2) = %f ',X(2));

% This m-file will solve the quadratic equation :ax^2 - 3bx + 4c = 0

function Quad= Quadratic(A,B,C)
% A=5;
% B=-1;
% C=3;


%If-Else statement for if A=0

if A==0,
    X= -C/B;
else
    X(1) = (-B+sqrt(B^2-4*A*C))/(2*A);
    X(2) = (-B-sqrt(B^2-4*A*C))/(2*A);

    disp(X(1))
     disp(X(2))
     fprintf('X(1) = %f ',X(1));
    fprintf('X(2) = %f ',X(2));
