Assignment 2 Quadratic Function

The document outlines a Visual Basic program for calculating the roots of a quadratic equation using the quadratic formula. It specifies the necessary UI components, including labels, textboxes, and a button, along with their properties and settings. Additionally, it provides the code to handle the button click event to compute and display the roots based on user input coefficients.

Quadratic function

Write a program in VB that calculates and prints the roots of a quadratic


equation using the formula:
Understand the quadratic formula

−𝑏 ± √𝑏 2 − 4𝑎𝑐
2𝑎
In the program add 5 labels, 5 textboxes, 1 button and do setting as
below:

Object Property Settings


Label 1 Name lblcoeffa
Text Coefficient a
Label 2 Name lblcoeffb
Text Coefficient b
Label 3 Name lblcoeffc
Text Coefficient c
Label 4 Name lblroot1
Text Root 1
Label 5 Name lblroot2
Text Root 2
Textbox1 Name txtcoeffa
Textbox 2 Name txtcoeffb
Textbox3 Name txtcoeffc
Textbox 4 Name txtroot1
Textbox 5 Name txtroot2
Button Name btncalculate
Text Calculate
Form Name frmquadraticfunction
Text Quadratic Function

Double click the button and write the following code


Public Class frmquadraticfunction
Private Sub btncalculate_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Handles btncalculate.Click

'declaration of variables

Dim a, b, c, determ As Integer


Dim root1, root2 As Single

'convert cooefficients of a,b,cinput to numeric values

a = Val(txtcoeffa.Text)

1|Assignment 2
b = Val(txtcoeffb.Text)
c = Val(txtcoeffc.Text)

' compute the value inside the square root defined as determinant

determ = (b ^ 2) - (4 * a * c)

'using sqrt function to find square root


'add or subtr the value to -b then divide by 2a
'the answer is assigned to root1 and root2 respectively

root1 = (-b + Math.Sqrt(determ)) / (2 * a)


root2 = (-b - Math.Sqrt(determ)) / (2 * a)

'assign the root to output textboxes after rounding off to 2 d.p.

txtroot1.Text = Math.Round(root1, 2)
txtroot2.Text = Math.Round(root2, 2)

End Sub

End Class

The solution will look like this
