Explanation of Solution

Modifying quadratic method

  • The quadratic method would fail if the coefficient a is 0.
  • Invalid values are when a = 0 which is because it makes the denominator of the equation as 0 or if the determinant that is b2 – 4ac is negative because it has no real square root.
  • The modified quadratic method is

    // Throws an exception if a, b, c are invalid

    public static void quad...
