[R] Finding root of quadratic equation

[R. Michael Weylandt]

Hi Sveta,

This is pretty self-evidently homework (and rather odd homework at
that) so I'm afraid it's the policy of the list not to give you a
hand. We can never be quite sure what your teacher wants you to learn
from any given assignment and we don't want to undermine the education
that you are paying for.

Good luck though!
