(Algebra: solve quadratic equations) The two roots of a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 can be obtained using the following formula:
b2 − 4ac is called the discriminant of the quadratic equation. If it is positive, the equation has two real roots. If it is zero, the equation has one root. If it is negative, the equation has no real roots.
Write a
Note you can use Math. pow(x, 0.5) to compute

/*prompt user to enter the value of the a,b and c*/
System.out.print("Enter a, b, c: ");
//get value of a
double a = input.nextDouble();
//get value of b
double b = input.nextDouble();
//get value of c
double c = input.nextDouble();
//equation to calculate the discriminant
double discriminant = b * b - 4 * a * c;
//condition to validate the discriminant value
if (discriminant < 0)
{
//display result
System.out.println("The equation has no real roots");
}
//condition to validate the discriminant value
else if (discriminant == 0)
{
//equation to calculate the root value
double r1 = -b / (2 * a);
//display result
System.out.println("The equation has one root " + r1);
}
//condition to validate the discriminant value
else
{
// (discriminant > 0)
//equation to calculate the root value
double r1 = (-b + Math.pow(discriminant, 0.5)) / (2 * a);
//equation to calculate the root value
double r2 = (-b - Math.pow(discriminant, 0.5)) / (2 * a);
//display result

- (True or False) Seven different positive integers are randomly chosen between 1 and 2022 (including 1 and 2022).There must be a pair of these integers has a difference that is a multiple of 6.arrow_forward(Perfect Numbers) An integer is said to be a perfect number if the sum of its divisors, including 1 (but not the number itself), is equal to the number. For example, 6 is a perfect number, because 6=1+2+3. Write a functionisPerfect that determines whether parameter number is a perfect number. Use this function in a program that determines and prints all the perfect numbers between 1 and 1000. Print the divisors of each perfect number to confirm that the number is indeed perfect. Challenge the power of your computer by testing numbers much larger than 1000.arrow_forward(Geometry: great circle distance) The great circle distance is the distance between two points on the surface of a sphere. Let (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) be the geographi- cal latitude and longitude of two points. The great circle distance between the two points can be computed using the following formula: d = radius * arccos(sin(x1) * sin(x2) + cos(x1) * cos(x2) * cos(y1 - y2)) Write a program that prompts the user to enter the latitude and longitude of two points on the earth in degrees and displays its great circle distance. The average earth radius is 6,378.1 km. The latitude and longitude degrees in the formula are for north and west. Use negative to indicate south and east degrees.arrow_forward

- [THIS IS NOT GRADED] The question mentions the bouncy program; this is the bouncy program I have written that computes the total distance traveled by the ball given initial height, bounciness index, and number of bounces: height = float(input("Enter the height from which the ball is dropped: ")) bounciness = float(input("Enter the bounciness index of the ball: ")) distance = 0 bounces = int(input("Enter the number of times the ball is allowed to continue bouncing: ")) for eachPass in range(bounces): distance += height height *= bounciness distance += height print('\nTotal distance traveled is:', distance, 'units.') I will attatch the pre-existing code that the question provided. Thank you for your help.arrow_forwardComputer Science Please help You went camping overnight but forgot to take with you a heater and need to make one using a dc battery of V0 and spare electrical wires of different lengths and resistivity. The battery has lead with the resistance of Rw. Please obtain the formula for the joule heat power and plot it as a function of RH ( in MATLAB) and in comparison to the resistance of the connecting leads, Rw. (Note: express RH = x Rw, where x is the effective ratio; vary x and plot Pmax vs. x). and Find the heating power if the heater is made out of superconducting metal. Will this heater work and why?! What is to happen on the molecular ( i.e. electron) level ?!arrow_forward(Python) Numerous engineering and scientific applications require finding solutions to a set of equations. Ex: 8x + 7y = 38 and 3x - 5y = -1 have a solution x = 3, y = 2. Given integer coefficients of two linear equations with variables x and y, use brute force to find an integer solution for x and y in the range -10 to 10. Ex: If the input is: 8 7 38 3 -5 -1 Then the output is: x = 3 , y = 2 Use this brute force approach: For every value of x from -10 to 10 For every value of y from -10 to 10 Check if the current x and y satisfy both equations. If so, output the solution, and finish. Ex: If no solution is found, output: "There is no solution" You can assume the two equations have no more than one solution.
