I believe if b were to equal the value of 0, there would be 2 solutions to the function. Or not mainly if the resulting expression turns out to be a difference of squares.
Eg. f(x) = 2x^2 + 0x + 2
2x^2 + 2
2(x^2 + 1)
Here there would not be x intercepts, mainly because x cannot be solved.

Possible values of k
The general quadratic equation is:

Subtract
and 


Factorize:

Rewrite as:

Compare the above equation to: 



For the equation to have two distinct solution, the following must be true:

So, we have:

Expand

Rewrite as:


Expand

Factor out k + 6

Split:
or 
So:
or k 
To make the above inequality true, we set:
or 
So, the set of values of k is:

Answer:
Part A: 115
Part B: 36000
Explanation:
Part A asks for the perimeter, which is adding, so add up the 15, 40, and 60, which will equal to 115.
Part B asks for the area, which is multiplying, so you multiply the numbers,
15 x 40 x 60 = <u>36000</u>
15 x 40 = 600
600 x 60 = 36000
You could try multiplying it a different way but get the same answer:
60 x 40 x 15 = <u>36000</u>
60 x 40 = 2400
2400 x 15 = 36000
I'm not sure if this is correct but I hope I helped
have a great day/night :))
