x2 – 3x + k = 0 has two distinct roots lying in the interval (0, 1)
It is easy to solve this question using location of roots.
So we have f(x) = x2 – 3x + k
i) f(0) > 0 i.e. k > 0 …..........(1)
ii) f(1) > 0 i.e. 1 – 3 + k > 0 i.e. k > 2 …........(2)
iii) D > 0 i.e. 9 – 4k > 0 i.e. k
Taking in intersection of (1),(2),(3), we get 2
So there are infinitely many values of k for given condition.
