Discriminant is .
Not just the sign you are using to decide. Also the rationality or irrationality is part of your determination.
YOU can do this.
positive WHOLE number, then two Real RATIONAL solutions.
means nonreal complex solutions, two of them.
but irrational, then two irrational solutions.
FORM your discriminant!
