In the quadratic equation \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28b%5E2-4ac%29%29%2F%282a%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the discriminant is \"D+=+b%5E2+-+4ac\", which is basically the stuff under the square root.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
