i think this gives u your answer
OpenStudy (shane_b):
In that case it's going to have 2 irrational solutions.

okay

Here's a cheat sheet:
Radicand is negative - 2 complex solutions involving i.
Radicand is zero - 1 real, rational zero. Called a double or repeated root.
Radicand is positive and a perfect square - 2 real, rational zeros.
Radicand is positive but not a perfect square - 2 real, irrational zeros
