Given the coefficients (constants) of a quadratic equation
Examples:
Input: a = 2, b = 0, c = -1
Output: Yes
Explanation:
The given quadratic equation is2x^{2}-2=0
Its roots are (1, -1) which are numerically equal but opposite in sign
Input: a = 1, b = -5, c = 6
Output: No
Explanation:
The given quadratic equation isx^{2}-5x+6=0
Its roots are (2, 3) which are not numerically equal and opposite in sign
Approach:
To check whether roots are numerically equal but opposite in sign or not:
Quadratic Equation:
ax^{2} + bx + c = 0
Let the roots be\alpha and\beta
Sum of roots =\alpha + \beta =\frac{-b}{a}
Since roots are opposite in sign only, therefore\alpha = -\beta
Therefore,-\beta + \beta = \frac{-b}{a} 0 = \frac{-b}{a} b = 0 , i.e, coefficient of x is 0.
Hence we have to only check if b is 0 or not, for the roots to be numerically equal but opposite in sign.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
// C++ program to check if roots
// of a Quadratic Equation are
// numerically equal but opposite
// in sign or not
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
// Function to find the required answer
void checkSolution(int a, int b, int c)
{
if (b == 0)
cout << "Yes";
else
cout << "No";
}
// Driver code
int main()
{
int a = 2, b = 0, c = 2;
checkSolution(a, b, c);
return 0;
}
// Java program to check if roots
// of a Quadratic Equation are
// numerically equal but opposite
// in sign or not
import java.util.*;
class GFG{
// Function to find the required answer
static void checkSolution(int a, int b, int c)
{
if (b == 0)
System.out.print("Yes");
else
System.out.print("No");
}
// Driver code
public static void main(String args[])
{
int a = 2, b = 0, c = 2;
checkSolution(a, b, c);
}
}

b = 0

checkSolution(a, b, c)

{
if (b == 0)
Console.Write("Yes");

}

{
int a = 2, b = 0, c = 2;
checkSolution(a, b, c);
}
}
