This program numerically solves the standard quadratic equation above for root (x).
Where:
It applies the standard quadratic solution:
Generally, in practice, there are two (x) roots: (x1) and (x2),
that will numerically solve the equation because the solutions
graphically represent the X-coordinates of two points on a line
passing through and intersecting with a parabola at two locations
along the curve. However, it could also intersect at a single point
and the possibility exists that both values could be numerically equal.
When applying a solution to a physical problem in the real world,
usually only one of the two (x) solutions will apply.
When plotting the equation on a graph,
then both solutions may apply.
A Simple Example:
The possibility exists that both values can be numerically equal.
