A strange result when solving a quadratic.

[Former user]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 269 ``` What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. enter values of 5,17 & 7 for a,b,c respectively 2. double click the quadratic formulae 3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? See attached file.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 0.10.1 Mac OSX 10.5.6

Please provide any additional information below. The function is graphed in the window behind.

You will notice in the attached image that the correct results appear of other values of a,b & c. Am I making an error that I am blind to or does SpeedCrunch blow up at these particular values.

In any case, molto bizarro.

``` That's an easy one: You have to put parentheses around the denominators "2*a" in the formulas for x1 and x2. ```

``` Yes, this has been reported before, please see issue 197. The code in development (what will become the next version) is already fixed. ```
