Prove that the roots of the equation x2 + (k − 2)x – 2k = 0 are real and distinct for all real values of k.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the discriminate of the quadratic equation.

a = 1

b = k - 2

c = - 2k

Discriminate (D)  = sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c)

D = sqrt( (k - 2)^2 - 4(1)(-2k) )

D = sqrt( k^2 -4k + 4 + 8k)

D = sqrt(k^2 +4k + 4)

D = sqrt(k + 2)^2

D = (k+2)

The domain of k can be any real number -- nothing is excluded.

step-by-step explanation:

think about the doctor who treated the major and the speaker in the short story "in another country." put yourself in the shoes of the doctor, and based on what you read in the story, write what you think his thoughts about the major and the speaker would be. use the following vocabulary in your response and change the form of these words as needed: detached resign withered
