Solution

The correct option is D f(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.
