\"3x%5E2-7x%2Bk=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "discriminant is \"b%5E2-4ac\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if and only if \"b%5E2-4ac%3C0\" we have two imaginary solutions\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "in your case \"a=3\",\"b=-7\", and \"c=k\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, \"%28-7%29%5E2-4%2A3k%3C0\"
\n" ); document.write( "=>\"49-12k%3C0\"
\n" ); document.write( "=>\"49%3C12k\"
\n" ); document.write( "=>\"49%2F12%3Ck\"
\n" ); document.write( "=>\"4.083333333333333%3Ck\"
\n" ); document.write( "=>\"k%3E4.08\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the smallest integer (whole number) value is \"k=5\" that makes the solutions of \"3x%5E2-7x%2Bk=0\" imaginary \r
