Solution Exercise 100: solutions of a quadratic equation

Exercise 100

Create an algorithm in Python as a function that gives the solution of a quadratic equation ax ^ 2 + bx + c = 0.

Solution

from math import sqrt
# a quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0 can be represented by the tuple (a , b , c)
def solveEquation(a , b, c):
    delta = b*b -4*a*c
    
    # if delta > 0 , then the equation admits two distinct solutions
    if delta>0 :
        delta_sr= sqrt(delta)
        x1 =(-  b + delta_sr)/2*a
        x2 =(-  b - delta_sr)/2*a
        return ("The set of solutions is : " ,  set({x1,x2}))
    
    # else if delta == 0 , the equation admits a double solution 
    elif delta == 0:
        x_double = -b/(2*a)
        return ("Solution double : " , x_double)
    
    # if not the equation does not admit a solution 
    else:
        return("No solution for this equation !")
    
# First example x^2 + 5x - 6 = 0
print("First example : " , solveEquation(1 , 5 , 6))

# Second example x^2 - 3x + 5 = 0
print("Second example : " , solveEquation(1 , -3 , 5))

# 3rd example : 4x^2 - 4x + 1
print("3rd  example : " , solveEquation(4 , -4 , 1))

The output is:
First example :  ('The set of solutions is : ', {-3.0, -2.0})
Second example :  No solution for this equation !
3rd  example :  ('Solution double : ', 0.5)
