How to determine the value of missing coefficient in second order polynomials

Second order polynomials are algebraic expressions that observe the following form:

[tex]p(x) = a\cdot x^2 + b\cdot x + c[/tex]   (1)

Where:

  • a, b, c - Coefficients
  • x - Independent variable

For polynomials of the form p(x) = 0, we can infer the nature of their roots by applying the following discriminant:

d = b² - 4 · a · c   (2)

According to (2), there are three cases:

  1. If d < 0, then there are two conjugated complex roots.
  2. If d = 0, then the two roots are the same real number.
  3. If d > 0, then the two roots are two distinct real numbers.

Now we have the following discriminant case:

-(3 + 2 · k)² - 4 · (1) · (4) ≠ 0

-(9 + 6 · k + 4 · k²) - 16 ≠ 0

-9 - 6 · k - 4 · k² - 16 ≠ 0

4 · k²+ 6 · k +25 ≠ 0

This characteristic polynomial has two conjugated complex roots, then we conclude that all values of k must positive or negative, but never zero. By graphng tools we find that k must be greater than or equal to 22.75 to have two different zeros.
