    Default New to Java and need help! Please!

    I have an assignment that I am completely blown away by...if anyone could help guide me along it would be much appreciated.

    Implement a class QuadraticEquation whose constructor receives the coefficients a, b, c of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx +c = 0. Supply methods getSolution1 and getSolution2 that get the solutions, using the quadratic formula. Write a test class QuadraticEquationTester that constructs a QuadraticEquation object, and prints the two solutions.

    The quadratic equation is (-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a. From here it should be simple.
