The discriminant of a quadratic in the form , where a, b, c are reals, is .
If , the quadratic has two distinct real roots.
If , the quadratic has one real double root.
If , the quadratic has two distinct non-real roots.
==
For example, the discriminant of is . So the quadratic has two distinct non-real roots.
