Who can give me the values of k and p,please?
Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3x%5E2-x%2Bk=0
and p%2F4 and p%2B1 are the two solutions; and you are to find p and k.

Use the general solution for a quadratic equation, and make use of the discriminant. The value of discriminant must be positive. Those are my suggestions, although I have not yet actually tried to solve this problem.

x=%281%2B-+sqrt%281-4%2A3%2Ak%29%29%2F%282%2A3%29 and you MUST have %281-4%2A3%2Ak%29%3E0

----
based on that, 1%3E12k
1%2F12%3Ek
k%3C1%2F12

It makes me think the problem is open-ended. Maybe use k=-2 or k=-3?. You'll still have two solutions for x.

Can you take it from here?
