Do you mean one real root and one complex root? It is not possible if the coefficients are real numbers (not imaginary). The quadratic formula is such that for real coefficients, if there are any real roots at all, they will all be real. If you allow imaginary coefficients, it becomes easily possible. Example:

it has roots i and 1. One real and one imaginary.
