No. A quadratic may have two identical real solutions, two different real solutions, or
two conjugate complex solutions (including pure imaginary).
It can't have one real and one complex or imaginary solution.
There are many ways quadratic equations are used in the real world. These equations are used to calculate area, speed and profit
The answer depends on the nature of the equation. Just as there are different ways of solving a linear equation with a real solution and a quadratic equation with real solutions, and other kinds of equations, there are different methods for solving different kinds of imaginary equations.
Suppose the quadratic equation is ax^2 + bx + c = 0 and D = b^2 - 4ac is the discriminant. Then the solutions to the quadratic equation are [-b ± sqrt(d)]/(2a). Since D = 0, the both solutions are equal to -b/(2a), a single real solution.

The quadratic formula can be used to find the solutions of a quadratic equation - not a linear or cubic, or non-polynomial equation. The quadratic formula will always provide the solutions to a quadratic equation - whether the solutions are rational, real or complex numbers.
It is not always better.Although quadratic equations always have solutions in the complex system, complex solutions might not always make any sense. In such circumstances, sticking to the real number system makes more sense that trying to evaluate an impossible solution in the complex field.
A quadratic equation can have two real solutions, one real solution, or two complex solutions, none of them real.
A quadratic equation can have two solutions, one solution, or no real solutions, depending on its discriminant (the part of the quadratic formula under the square root). If the discriminant is positive, there are two distinct real solutions; if it is zero, there is exactly one real solution (a repeated root); and if it is negative, there are no real solutions, only complex ones. Thus, a quadratic equation does not always have two solutions.
In quadratic equations, the solutions represent the values of the variable that make the equation true, typically where the graph of the quadratic function intersects the x-axis. These solutions can be real or complex numbers, depending on the discriminant (the part of the quadratic formula under the square root). Real solutions indicate points where the function crosses the x-axis, while complex solutions indicate that the graph does not intersect the x-axis. Overall, the solutions provide insight into the behavior and characteristics of the quadratic function.
A quadratic equation can have either two real solutions or no real solutions.
The quadratic has no real solutions.
If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is greater than zero then it will have two different solutions. If the discriminant is equal to zero then it will have two equal solutions. If the discriminant is less than zero then it will have no real solutions.

In general, quadratic equations have graphs that are parabolas. The quadratic formula tells us how to find the roots of a quadratic equations. If those roots are real, they are the x intercepts of the parabola.
Solving a system of quadratic equations involves finding the values of the variables that satisfy all equations in the system simultaneously. This typically requires identifying the points of intersection between the curves represented by the quadratic equations on a graph. The solutions can be real or complex numbers and may include multiple pairs of values, depending on the nature of the equations. Techniques for solving these systems include substitution, elimination, or graphical methods.
