Worked solution
2(a)
1. State the condition for the quadratic expression to be always positive
For for all real , since the coefficient of is , the discriminant must be less than zero.
2. Substitute the coefficients into the discriminant and solve for $k$
2(b)
1. Deduce the sign of the denominator using the result from part (a)
From part (a), for all real when .
Since , the denominator is always positive.
2. Simplify the inequality
Since , we can multiply both sides of the inequality by the denominator without changing the inequality sign:
3. Solve the quadratic inequality
