- Program : Equator
- Author : Shanawaz Basith
- Date : 9 December 1992
- Version : 1.00
- Bugs : What?
-
- This program simply solves quadratic equations by using the formula for
- solving general quadratic equations of the form :
-
- ax² + bx + c = 0, where a is not equal to 0.
-
- The formula is :
- _________
- -b ± € b² - 4ac
- x = ———————————————
- 2a
-
- The inputs boxes are the three at the top under the 'User Inputs' label.
- Input can be of the form
-
- 0.12
- 1.23
- .120
- 1223
-
- the value of 'a' is default to 1, all negative numbers also work. Please make
- sure you type in the values correctly, i.e, an equation like 12x²-6x-12, the
- value of a is 12, b is -6 (note the sign) and c is -12.
-
- If you are happy with the inputs then click on the 'Solve' icon, or 'Cancel'
- to lose the window, or 'Clear' to reset the inputs.
-
- The program will generate two solutions in the solutions boxes, or will
- print 'No Solution' if a solution does not exist.
-
- The three icons under the 'Tools' heading are just there for very lazy people
- Click on them to get the appropriate effect.
-
- The iconbar menu has a standard info and quit menu tree.
-
- The program will require about 64k of free space.
-
- The program is PUBLIC DOMAIN, but I retain the copyright to the program and
- all its files, if this right is breached at any time, then may you fry in
- hell.
