Quadratic Discriminant - Problem Solving

If $a, b, c$ are real numbers such that $c (a+b+ c ) < 0$ , what can we say about $b^2 - 4ac$ ?

Hint: Think about the function $f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$ .

b^2 - 4ac = 0

Not enough information

b^2 - 4ac > 0

b^2 - 4ac < 0

For what values of $m$ are there no intersection points between the line $y= mx + 13$ and the circle $x^2 + y^2 = 17$ ?

m^2 = \frac{152}{17}

m^2 < \frac{152}{17}

m^2 \le \frac{152}{17}

m^2 > \frac{152}{17}

$k$ is uniformly chosen from the interval $[ -5, 5]$ . Let $p$ be the probability that the quadratic $f(x) = x^2 + kx + 1$ has both roots between -2 and 4. What is the value of $\lfloor 1000 p \rfloor$ ?

Details and assumptions

Greatest Integer Function: $\lfloor x \rfloor: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}$ refers to the greatest integer less than or equal to $x$ . For example $\lfloor 2.3 \rfloor = 2$ and $\lfloor -3.4 \rfloor = -4$ .
