Answer:

The quadratic equation have no real roots.

Explanation:

We are given that,

The discriminant of the quadratic equation
ax^2 + bx + c=0 is -16.

We know that,

If in a quadratic equation,


D>0, the equation have real and distinct roots.


D=0, the equation have real and equal roots.


D<0, the equation have no real roots.

Since, the discriminant of the equation is -16 < 0.

Thus, the quadratic equation have no real roots.
