No wonder you get an error message.
I quote from the Help Browser: "FindRoot[lhs == rhs, {x, xo}] searches for a
numerical solution to the equation lhs == rhs, starting with x = x0". You
can't find a numerical solution if the numerical value of the constants is
not supplied.

x=-b/a.But get error message when i try to use find root command to get the
