if 2x^2-kx+3 = 0 has imaginary roots, what is the value of k?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When Δ < 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@3psilon Can you continue?

OpenStudy (3psilon):

I got that part I don't get finding K

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Show me what you got?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Start with Δ = ...?

OpenStudy (3psilon):

I got = k^2 +24

OpenStudy (3psilon):

-24*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Δ = k² - 24 < 0

OpenStudy (3psilon):

Yes but I don't know what to do after that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Suppose k² -24 = 0 => k = -√ 24 or k = √24 Thus when Δ < 0, -√ 24 < K < √24

OpenStudy (3psilon):

I don't get why \[-sqrt{24} <k\] @Chlorophyll

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k < | √24 | <=> -√24 < k < √24
