Answer:

Irrational, Rational, and Complex Roots

Explanation:

Irrational roots cannot be written as a fraction, for example, √2 is an irrational root because 2 is not a square number

Rational roots can be written as a fraction. For example, √4 is a rational root because it can be either -2 or 2 which are both rational.

Complex/imaginary roots take the form of
a+bi where "a" is the real part and "b" is the imaginary part. For example, √(-1) = i which is complex/imaginary.
