',2) - (4 * ' . $_POST['A'] . ' * ' . $_POST['C'] . ')'; $discriminant = Calculation::getInstance()->calculateFormula($discriminantFormula); $r1Formula = '=IMDIV(IMSUM(-' . $_POST['B'] . ',IMSQRT(' . $discriminant . ')),2 * ' . $_POST['A'] . ')'; $r2Formula = '=IF(' . $discriminant . '=0,"Only one root",IMDIV...
