What is the largest positive integer value of m such that the equation 3x^2 - mx + 7 = 0 has no real solutions?

Respuesta :

use determinant
in form ax²+bx+c=0
when b²-4ac>0, it has 2 real roots
when b²-4ac=0, it has 1 real root
when b²-4ac<0, it has no real roots
so


we solve for no real roots
b²-4ac<0
a=3
c=7
b=-m

(-m)²-(4)(3)(7)<0
m²-84<0
add 84 both sides
m²<84
sqrt both sides
m<9.1 about
nearest integer
round down
m=9

answer is m=9
