Question

Consider the given code using variables a, b, and c. What will be the output of this code?

1) 2
2) 6
3) 12

Answer 1

The output of the code is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The output of the given code can be determined by substituting the values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula and solving for the solutions.

Using the values a = 1.00, b = 10.0, and c = -200, we have:

x = (-10.0 ± √(10.0)^2 - 4(1.00)(-200)) / (2(1.00))

Simplifying the equation, we get:

x = (-10.0 ± √(100.0 + 800.0)) / (2.00)

x = (-10.0 ± √900.0) / 2.00

x = (-10.0 ± 30.0) / 2.00

So, the two solutions are -20.0 and 10.0.

Therefore, the correct output is 1) 2.
