If x² − 2(k − 4)x + (k² − 10k + 27) = 0 has no real roots, which condition on k is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: k < 11/2

The relevant principle is that a quadratic has no real roots exactly when its discriminant is negative. Here a = 1, b = −2(k − 4), and c = k² − 10k + 27. Compute D = [−2(k − 4)]² − 4(k² − 10k + 27) = 4(k − 4)² − 4(k² − 10k + 27). Since (k − 4)² = k² − 8k + 16, the expression inside the difference is k² − 8k + 16 − k² + 10k − 27 = 2k − 11. Thus D = 4(2k − 11). The condition D < 0 gives 2k − 11 < 0, so k < 11/2. Equality produces equal real roots, and larger values produce two distinct real roots. Therefore option A is correct.
