Module #4 Assignment: Roots & Reciprocals

Overall, I was able to complete this assignment easily. I only had to figure out a few issues regarding the format of my output (and gave myself a mini refresher on the quadratic formula.) I also began to incorporate comments into my code. This will help me in the future when reviewing my work.

Roots

Roots

The first part of this assignment was to create code to compute and print both roots of the quadratic equation x^2-5.86 x+ 8.5408. This part required the use of import math and the square root function. For my answer, I decided to include both answers rounded to two decimal places and not rounded up. 

Reciprocals

Reciprocals

The last part of this assignment asked us to use a for loop to print the decimal representations of fractions 1/2 to 1/10, one on each line. The biggest issue I had with this part was formatting the answers. I wanted to figure out how to print out both the fraction and the decimal for each. After some research, I decided to go with the f-string method which from my understanding is a newer way to format strings in Python. F-strings require the letter f followed by an opening and closing curly brace.
