If a quadratic equation with real coefficients has an imaginary root, then its two roots must be complex conjugates. If x + y√z is a rational root of a quadratic with rational coefficients, where x, y, and z are rational numbers and √z is irrational, then x - y√z must also be a root. The sum of the roots of a quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is -b/a and the product of the roots is c/a.
