Quadratics

Description

This example demonstrates the use of the quadratic formula to find complex roots of a quadratic equation. Complex roots occur when the discriminant is negative, indicating that the parabola does not intersect the x-axis. The example shows how to calculate these roots and interpret them as complex numbers, which are essential for understanding the behavior of quadratic equations that don't have real solutions.
