Hi there!

\large\boxed{k> 6.125}

We can use discriminants to determine the value of k for which the equation would have complex solutions. (Those involving i)

If b² - 4ac < 0, then the equation will have complex solutions. Therefore:

Plug in the given values of b and a to solve:

7² - 4(2)(k) < 0

Simplify:

49 - 8k < 0

Solve the inequality:

49 < 8k

6.125 < k

k > 6.125. Anything greater than 6.125 would result in complex solutions.

Solve. 9(4h - 6) = 2( -13 - 2h)
Afina-wow [57]

Answer: h= 7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

9(4h - 6 ) = 2(-13 - 2h)       Distribute on both sides

9(4h) + 9(-6) = 2(-13) + 2(-2h)

36h - 54 = -26 - 4h       Add 4h to both sides

+4h                   +4h

40h - 54 = -26      Add 54 to both sides

      +54     +54

40h = 28     Divide both sides by 40

h = 7/10
