Question

If the roots of the quadratic equation \( x^2 - 6x + k = 0 \) are real and distinct, what is the range of values for \( k\)?

• A. \( k>9 \)
• B. \( k<9 \)
• C. \( k>0 \)
• D. \( k<0 \)

Hint:

The discriminant determines the nature of roots. For distinct real roots, ensure \( \Delta>0 \) by comparing it with zero.
