Quad. Equation Solver Involving functions and constants Error

boba bev (3)
I am writing this Quadratic Equation Solver for school. As I write my output section the cout and cin get red-lined by Microsoft visual 2010 Express. The final getch and return statements are also red-lined. I do not know what I have done wrong to cause them to error out. If you could help me I would be very appreciated. ~Beverly

Just some quick program specifics: Must contain two string constants (Quadratic Function, and a border), also to use at least 2 value returning functions for all calculations.

Oh just an FYI the top comment is cut off. Didn't want to put all my private info here :)

So after taking a break to get the kids I read over my code and fine the mistake. lol if you find it ;)
