## Classes
struct | CGAL::Root_of_traits< RT >
| For a `RealEmbeddable` `IntegralDomain` `RT`, the class template `Root_of_traits<RT>` associates a type `Root_of_2`, which represents algebraic numbers of degree 2 over `RT`. More...
class | CGAL::Sqrt_extension< NT, Root, DifferentExtensionComparable, FilterPredicates >
| An instance of this class represents an extension of the type `NT` by one square root of the type `Root`. More...

template<typename RT , typename OutputIterator >

OutputIterator CGAL::compute_roots_of_2 | ( | const RT & | a,
|  | const RT & | b,
|  | const RT & | c,
|  | OutputIterator | oit
| ) |  |

`#include <CGAL/Root_of_traits.h>`

The function `compute_roots_of_2()` solves a univariate polynomial as it is defined by the coefficients given to the function.

The solutions are written into the given `OutputIterator`. Writes the real roots of the polynomial \( aX^2+bX+c\) into `oit` in ascending order.

`OutputIterator` is required to accept `Root_of_traits<RT>::Root_of_2`.

Multiplicities are not reported.

Precondition
  `RT` is an `IntegralDomainWithoutDivision`.
  \( a\neq0\) or \( b\neq0\).

| ) |  |

`#include <CGAL/Root_of_traits.h>`

The function `make_root_of_2()` constructs an algebraic number of degree 2 over a ring number type.

Returns the smallest real root of the polynomial \( aX^2+bX+c\) if \( s\) is `true`, and the largest root is \( s\) is `false`.

Precondition
  `RT` is an `IntegralDomainWithoutDivision`.
  The polynomial has at least one real root.

`#include <CGAL/Root_of_traits.h>`

The function `make_root_of_2()` constructs an algebraic number of degree 2 over a ring number type.

Constructs the number \( \alpha+ \beta\sqrt{\gamma}\).

Precondition
  `RT` is an `IntegralDomainWithoutDivision`.
  \( \gamma\geq0\)

## ◆ make_sqrt()

template<typename RT >

Root_of_traits< RT >::Root_of_2 CGAL::make_sqrt | ( | const RT & | x | ) |

`#include <CGAL/Root_of_traits.h>`

The function `make_sqrt()` constructs a square root of a given value of type `RT`.

Depending on the type `RT` the square root may be returned in a new type that can represent algebraic extensions of degree \( 2\).

Returns
  \( \sqrt{x}.\)

Precondition
  `RT` is a `RealEmbeddable` `IntegralDomain`.
  \( x \leq0 \)
