Let's see.
First, x^2 + 3x - 2 = 0 gives x = (-3 ± √(17))/2, so there already two candidates.
Though, after that, the number of real roots depends on k. Hmm...
Pretty sure there isn't a unique answer, as the roots also depend on k.
I don't think this problem is formulated correctly. The answer depends on k.
Yes but how we gotta find k
And the formulas will obviously be very ugly, as is usual with cubic equations.
k can be anything, though.
But how we gonna know it
We can't know it.
How should I answer then
It also say that k must be integer
Oh...
Well, that's pretty important information!
You should've said so from the beginning.
Not that it helps much, but still.
Ok so
And how did you do it?
