Most of us have heard of the quadratic formula

 x = ( -b +or- %: (b^2 - 4ac) )/2a  (roughly standard math notation)

for solving  ax^2 + bx + c = 0  for  x  .

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to write a verb  quad
 that takes
vector  a,b,c  as argument, says “Not quadratic” if  a is 0  , and otherwise
uses the quadratic formula to find the values of x, reporting them in a
vector.

   quad 2 _8 6
3 1

   quad 0 _8 6
Not quadratic
