For a quadratic, computes its roots (real or [conjugate] complex) and plots the parabola as well as its "mirror" parabola.

Is there a simple way to "see" the complex roots from the real roots of the other parabola ?

Computation structure — A PHP file (this page: 'Fx-parabolamir.php') calls (via 'action=') an intermediate PHP file ('Parabolamir.php'), which (through $_POST and 'shell_exec') sends the problem data as command line arguments to a Fortran 90 executable (exe). This last does the computing (exe all‑the‑data), and makes 'system' call(s) to 'gnuplot' and 'base64', for the final (temporary) webpage. Keywords: PHP, command line arguments, Fortran executable, gnuplot. (No intermediate data file.)

Draws a graph of the parabolas. This is essentially a template.

Alternatively, try: c = 5.
