Answer 3

The radicand of a quadratic equation is known as the discriminant. Its value discriminates among the various possible roots or x-intercepts of the equation. If the radicand is negative, its square root will be non-real. Hence, two imaginary roots. The roots will not show up on the graph of the quadratic.
