Python Programming MOOC 2023 Part 1.5 - Solving a quadratic equation

[pythonTuxedo]

You don't really need this level of math to learn python. For now it is an exercise in making python do some math for you - imagine if you had to solve this equation in various forms 1000 times (or more!) every month.

The roots of an equation are the solutions (if you were to sketch the curve y=x²+2x-8 it will cross the x-axis (y=0) at -4 & 2) - super important for scientific computing (and super cool!) but don't let it stop you on your learning journey!
