create a function to solve a quadratic form in matlab

Here is an example of a function to solve a quadratic equation in MATLAB:

main.m
function roots = solveQuadratic(a, b, c)
    % Calculate discriminant
    discriminant = b^2 - 4*a*c;

    % Check if equation has real roots
    if discriminant < 0
        disp('The quadratic equation has no real roots');
        roots = [];
        return;
    end

    % Calculate the roots
    root1 = (-b + sqrt(discriminant)) / (2*a);
    root2 = (-b - sqrt(discriminant)) / (2*a);

    % Return the roots
    roots = [root1, root2];
end

To use this function, you can call it with the coefficients of the quadratic equation:

main.m
a = 1;
b = -3;
c = 2;

roots = solveQuadratic(a, b, c);
disp('Roots: ');
disp(roots);

8 lines

This will output the roots of the quadratic equation.
