Solution
The correct option is Df(k)<0 Given quadratic expression as: f(x)=ax2+bx+c with a<0 α,β are roots of ax2+bx+c=0 and k is any real number such that: α>β>k
Now, using the given conditions we can plot the graph as:
From the graph, we can observe the following: (a)D>0, as f(x)=0 has two distinct real roots. (b)f(k)<0, from the graph. (c) Abscissa of Vertex =−b2a>k.
