Write a function to check factorability

Let us write a function to evaluate whether any given quadratic is factorable or not. The arguments to the function will be the coefficient values a b and c for a given quadratic of the form $$ ax^2 + bx + c $$

and we will determine whether the discriminant of the quadratic formula $$ b^2 - 4ac $$

is a perfect square. If it is, then the quadratic is factorable.

Instructions

100 XP

Fill in the condition to check whether the solutions to the quadratic equation are imaginary.
Write the conditional statement to specify that the next section should run only when the previous condition is FALSE.
Return the result of the check for whether the discriminant is a perfect square, thus making the quadratic factorable.
