SOLUTION: How do I do this? Find all positive values for k for which each of the following can be factored. x^2 + x � k

Question 77417: How do I do this?
Find all positive values for k for which each of the following can be factored.
x^2 + x � k

Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
It can always be factored using the quadratic formula.
b^2-4ac for your problem = 1^2-4k=1-4k
--------
If 1-4k<0 the factors will contain complex numbers.
If 1-4k>=0 the factors will contain Real numbers.
--------
Do your instructions tell you there is a limitation
on the factors?
