You're going to need to use your parenthesis differently. You might have a
problem with the grouping if you leave it as it is. It'd be better written as
this:
print (-b + /sqrt ((b*b) - (4*a*c))/(2*a))
I don't know the function for square root either, but I'm sure one of the
others will answer that for you.
