could someone help me on what to input on C++ so that i can get the imaginary roots of a quadratic equation.... I really don't know what to do...😭 help me please..😕😕😭 thank you!!

try this equation. let me know if it doesnt work still

Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.

Use a variable to indicate whether the delta (B[sup]2[/sup]-4AC) is positive or negative.

Instead of
pro = sqrt((b*b)-(4*a*c));

here, use
pro = sqrt(abs(B*B)-(4*A*C))

And then, if delta is positive, use it as is. If delta is negative, just print an 'i' or 'j' along with the result, to indicate that the root is imaginary...

i just tried it but when i try to input an equation with imaginary roots.. it doesn't give me an answer...

thanks for that but when i try to input an equation with imaginary roots.. it still doesn't give an answer...

After you have calculated delta, (variable "pro" in your program), calculate the individual roots in the following way..

pro = sqrt(abs(B*B-4*A*C))
 
if ((B*B-4*A*C) >= 0) {
    x1 = (-B+pro)/2*A
    x2 = (-B-pro)/2*A
    cout << "The first root is " << x1 << endl
    cout << "The second root is " << x2 << endl
} else {
    real = -B/2*A
    imag = pro/2*A
    cout << "The first root is "<<real<<"+i"<<imag<<endl
    cout << "The first root is "<<real<<"-i"<<imag<<endl
}

Try using this..

you need value of of a,b,c ?i found that equation i posted here gives complex roots .
