What is the discriminant \(D\) of the quadratic equation \(x^2-2(k-3)x+k^2=0\)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(36-24k\)

Here, \(a=1\), \(b=-2(k-3)\), and \(c=k^2\). Thus, \(D=b^2-4ac=[-2(k-3)]^2-4(1)(k^2)=4(k-3)^2-4k^2=36-24k\). Option B has the wrong sign for the linear term, while options C and D result from errors in expanding the square or handling its coefficients. Exam tip: identify the complete coefficient \(b\) before substituting into \(b^2-4ac\).
