Determine the set of values of kk for which the quadratic equation x2+2kx+(k+3)=0x^{2}+2kx+(k+3)=0 has no real roots. (a) k<1−132  or  k>1+132k<\dfrac{1-\sqrt{13}}{2}\;\text{or}\;k>\dfrac{1+\sqrt{13}}{2} (b) 1−132<k<1+132\dfrac{1-\sqrt{13}}{2}<k<\dfrac{1+\sqrt{13}}{2} (c) 1−132≤k≤1+132\dfrac{1-\sqrt{13}}{2}\le k\le\dfrac{1+\sqrt{13}}{2} (d) 1−134<k<1+134\dfrac{1-\sqrt{13}}{4}<k<\dfrac{1+\sqrt{13}}{4}
