function solving quadratic equation in matlab

To solve a quadratic equation in MATLAB, you can use the roots function. The quadratic equation is of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0 where a, b, and c are the coefficients.

Here's an example of how you can use the roots function to solve a quadratic equation:

main.m
% Coefficients of the quadratic equation
a = 1;
b = -4;
c = 3;

% Solve the quadratic equation
solution = roots([a, b, c]);

% Display the solutions
disp('The solutions are:');
disp(solution);
193 chars
12 lines

In this example, the coefficient values of the quadratic equation are provided, and the roots function is used to find the solutions. The solutions are then displayed using the disp function.

Note that the roots function returns a vector with the solutions. If the quadratic equation has two real solutions, the vector will contain those solutions. If the quadratic equation has complex solutions, the vector will contain the complex conjugate pairs.

Make sure to replace the coefficients a, b, and c with your own values according to the quadratic equation you want to solve.
