Solve real-coefficient quadratic equations that have complex solutions.

Connect x-intercept count to real and complex root fields

Problem

A downward-opening real-coefficient parabola stays strictly below the \(x\text{-}\text{axis}\). Determine its \(x\text{-}\text{intercept}\) count and classify the quadratic's roots over the complex numbers.

Prompt graph of a downward-opening parabola whose vertex and every point lie strictly below the x-axis. The curve never touches or crosses the x-axis; the intercept count and root classification are withheld. Open full size
