The integer k , for which the inequality x 2 - 2 3 k - 1 x + 8 k 2 - 7 > 0 is valid for every x in R is:
Options
- A4
- B2
- C3
- D0
Correct answer
C. 3
Step-by-step solution
x 2 - 2 3 k - 1 x + 8 k 2 - 7 > 0 Now, D < 0 ⇒   4 3 k - 1 2 - 4 × 1 × 8 k 2 - 7 < 0 ⇒   9 k 2 - 6 k + 1 - 8 k 2 + 7 < 0 ⇒   k 2 - 6 k + 8 < 0 ⇒   k - 4 k - 2 < 0 ⇒   k ∈ 2 , 4 ⇒ k = 3
