Problem Determine the set of values of k k k for which the quadratic equation x 2 + 2 k x + ( k + 3 ) = 0 x^{2}+2kx+(k+3)=0 x 2 + 2 k x + ( k + 3 ) = 0 has no real roots.
(a) k < 1 − 13 2 or k > 1 + 13 2 k<\dfrac{1-\sqrt{13}}{2}\;\text{or}\;k>\dfrac{1+\sqrt{13}}{2} k < 2 1 − 13 or k > 2 1 + 13
(b) 1 − 13 2 < k < 1 + 13 2 \dfrac{1-\sqrt{13}}{2}<k<\dfrac{1+\sqrt{13}}{2} 2 1 − 13 < k < 2 1 + 13
(c) 1 − 13 2 ≤ k ≤ 1 + 13 2 \dfrac{1-\sqrt{13}}{2}\le k\le\dfrac{1+\sqrt{13}}{2} 2 1 − 13 ≤ k ≤ 2 1 + 13
(d) 1 − 13 4 < k < 1 + 13 4 \dfrac{1-\sqrt{13}}{4}<k<\dfrac{1+\sqrt{13}}{4} 4 1 − 13 < k < 4 1 + 13
