^ Right, 0 and 4, lol
I'm getting the numbers but I'm not getting the greater than and less than signs.
Referring to 9k^{2}-36k>0=>k^{2}-4k>0=> k(k-4)>0 I got that but then what I concluded from that is k>0 and K>4. HOw can I end up with K<0 ?
Still don't understand.
For A, by using b^2-4ac= 0 I got the answer that k=0 (which is correct)
For B, I still don't understand how to achieve this answer k < 0 or k >4. How can I work with my equations to conclude that Teh values of k must be k< 0 or k >4 for y=9x^2 + 3kx + k to intersect two...
