Answer:When a,b,c are real numbers, a is not equal to zero and discriminant is negative (i. e b2 -4ac < 0)
Then the roots a and b of the quadratic equation ax2 +bx+c = 0 are unequal and imaginary
So c) imaginary is the answer (it is unequal )

The quadratic formula states that:
x=
−b±
√
b2−4ac
2a
The part we're interested in is b2−4ac this is called the discriminant.
I know from school that we can use the discriminant to figure out how many zeroes a quadratic equation has (or rather, if it has complex, real, or repeating zeroes).
If b2−4ac>0 then the equation has 2 real zeroes.
If b2−4ac<0 then the equation has 2 complex zeroes.
If b2−4ac=0 then the equation has repeating zeroes.
