Re: roots of an equation.
Which variable(s) are you solving for exactly?

Re: roots of an equation.
well then ignoring the steps i took in treating the two other variabels as being equal, eitherway it is still a quadratic in x which is standard to solve.
so in this case, a = 1, b = -cosθ{exp(iΔ)+exp(-iΔ)}, c = 1
