I am making a table of roots with different quadratic functions. I need to use the roots function, and cannot figure out how to seperate them into each cell.
Here is my code:
a=1, b=3, c=8^-14;
x1=(-b+sqrt(b^2-4*a*c))/(2*a);
x2=(-b-sqrt(b^2-4*a*c))/(2*a);
x3=(-b+sqrt(b^2-4*a*c))/(2*a);
x4=(-2*c)/(b-sqrt(b^2-4*a*c));
TypeofFunction={'Original Function'; 'Modified Function'};
Root1=[x1;x3];
Root2=[x2;x4];
T=table(TypeofFunction,Root1,Root2)
It makes this table:
TypeofFunction Root1 Root2
_____________________ _____________________ _________________
{'Original Function'} -7.57172102794357e-14 -2.99999999999992
{'Modified Function'} -7.57172102794357e-14 -3.00293255131965
I want to add a third row using:
roots([a,b,c])
ans =
-2.999999999999924
-0.000000000000076
I don't know how to separate the roots into the columns.
Thank you.

Please post the code you are currently using and we can suggest methods to use to get the output in a format you want.
