Naturally, we have to deliver two x-values. The m-file that we might use to accomplish this task is very simple: function x = rqe(a,b,c) x(1) = (-b + sqrt(b^2 - 4 * a * c))/(2*a); x(2) = (-b - sqrt(b^2 - 4 * a * c))/(2*a); We enter the coefficients as parameters when we call the function. We assign to variables x(1) and x(2) the calculated values using the formula, and the returning result x is a vector containing x(1) and x(2). We could use the following Matlab code instead, to return two separate variables: function [x,y] = rqe2(a,b,c) x = (-b + sqrt(b^2 - 4 * a * c))/(2*a); y = (-b - sqrt(b^2 - 4 * a * c))/(2*a); If we want to compute the roots of the following expression: 2x2 + x - 1 = 0 We can call our function (first code) like this: x = rqe(2,1,-1) and we get from Matlab: x= 0.5000 -1.0000

We can call our second function (second code above) like this: [m, n] = rqe2(2, 1, -1) and we get from Matlab:

m= n=

0.5000 -1
