```c
SHZ_INLINE bool shz_quadratic_roots(float a, float b, float c, float* root1, float* root2) SHZ_NOEXCEPT;
```

Uses the quadratic formula with the given coefficients to solve for the two roots, returning `true` if any real roots exist, and `false` if the roots are only imaginary.

| `b` | `float` |  |
| `c` | `float` |  |
| `root1` | `float *` |  |
| `root2` | `float *` |  |

## Returns

`bool`
