Dear student

We need to define the discreteness of a, this is primarily because a can assume infinite values between the stated intervaland that won't help out

For assumptionI have considered a, as-20 and increment of 1

below -13 it doesntwork above -2 it doesntwork

you just need to obtain discriminant as imaginary
