Define thefunction discriminant.

Explanation / Answer

please rate - thanks //include file... #include #include #include using namespace std; //function prototype float discriminant(float,float,float); void FindRoots(float,float,float); int main() {     //local variables     float a, b, c;    //coefficientvariables from formula     char response;    //Does the userwant to process more equations?     bool keepGoing;   //Should the programprocess more roots?     //we want to process at least one set ofdata     keepGoing = true;     //Find roots of the quadratic equation until theuser is finished     while (cin && keepGoing)     {         cout >a >>b>>c;         //Determine the roots ofthe quadratic equation         //Put your answer to #6here         cout
