Question
Solve the given problems. All numbers are accurate to at least two significant digits.Find the smallest positive integer value of $k$ if the equation $x^{2}+3 x+k=0$ has roots with imaginary numbers.
Step 1
We can compare this with the general quadratic equation $ax^{2}+bx+c=0$. From this comparison, we can see that $a=1$, $b=3$, and $c=k$. Show more…
