The same way you write any other equation in C++. Do the algebra with
pencil and paper (if necessary) and type in the equation following the rules
of the language. so********@gmail.com wrote:

How do I write the quadratic equation in C++?

Quadradic Equation is
ax^2 + bx + c = 0 (where ^2 is squared).
For x this becomes:
-b +/- Sqrt( b^2 - 4ac )
x = ------------------------
2a
Which is known as the Quadratic Formula.
In C or C++ langauge terms this is:
x = (-b + sqrt( b*b - 4 * a * c ) ) / 2 * a;
x = (-b - sqrt( b*b - 4 * a * c ) ) / 2 * a;
(Yes, there are two possible answers.

More precisely: there are at most two solutions to the equation.
Depending on the inputs, there may be two, one or no solutions for a
particular equation. The somewhat tricky part is to make sure that the
program can handle all three of these outcomes.

True. a == 0.0 would cause problems.

Don't you need parentheses there, around the "2 * a" part? Division and
multiplication have the same precedence, so as written, the above would
divide by 2, then multiply by a, instead of dividing by (2 * a), right?

Yes Howard, you're correct.
The formulae should be:
(-b + sqrt(b*b - 4*a*c)) / (2*a);
(-b - sqrt(b*b - 4*a*c)) / (2*a);
