I wrote: aX^2+bX+c=0. It's exactly the same thing. :) It's just a different notation.

>And I might add, for applied solutions you might just want to do a "Discriminant" check, if b**2 - 4*a*c < 0, there are no real solutions, only an imaginary pair.

So, where's the difference between what I said and this one? The number of solutions in complex?

Any real number is also a complex one. (The set of complex numbers includes the set of real numbers). So, if you're looking for solutions in complex, you can have 1 or 2 solutions. If there's only one (the discriminant = 0), you're right, the solution has only real part. But that doesn't mean is not a complex one.

Sorry, it's in my head and "he" doesn't have a direct connection to Internet. :)
