Ocr Core 1 Maths Help!!!!

Can you help me answer this question.

Show that K satisfies

K^2 + 2K - 27 (3 marks)

Hence find the set of possible values of K. (4 marks)

Please don't answer it!!! I just want to know how to answer it.

What have you got in terms of workings so far? :smile:

I don't even know how to start it. I don't understand what it's actually asking me to do.

What you've written doesn't make sense as it stands!

A variable satisfies an equation, not an expression!!!

Can you upload a screenshot of the question?

We'll need the rest of the question in order to help you :yep:

Do you not have workings for the previous part(s)?

OK ,let's start with part (i).

If you have a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0, what is the condition for it to have 2 real roots?

So for the first part do I just move the 3 over to the other side square root of then divide by 3. Or should I just factorise the equation?
Calculate the discriminant and see what happens

You don't need to move anything anywhere!

Can you answer the question I asked in my previous post regarding a general quadratic equation?
