I've seen a few conflicting pieces of information online.



So far, I know that with real coefficients there will always be one real root. But how about with complex coefficients?



At very least could you give me a counter example? a cubic with no real roots

          One of the best things you can remember is that over a field (like the reals or complex numbers) roots come from linear factors. Use this to build your own examples: $f(z) =(z-i)^3$. If you want three distinct complex roots, do something like $f(z) = (z-i)(z+i)(z-2i)$.
