  1. The solutions are -1.1458980337503153 and -7.85410196624968

But it should be The solutions are -1.15 and -7.85

heres the code 

import sys


def main():
    if len(sys.argv) == 4:
        a = float(sys.argv[1])
        b = float(sys.argv[2])
        c = float(sys.argv[3])
        d = (b ** 2) - (4 * a * c)

        if d < 0 or a == 0:
            print("There are no roots")
        else:
            root1 = (-b + d ** 0.5) / (2 * a)
            root2 = (-b - d ** 0.5) / (2 * a)
            print("The solutions are", root1, "and", root2)
    else:
        print("Please provide 3 numbers as command line arguments")
