The sum of all integral values of k ( k ≠ 0 ) for which the equation 2 x - 1 - 1 x - 2 = 2 k in x has…

The sum of all integral values of k(k0) for which the equation 2x-1-1x-2=2k in x has no real roots, is_____.

Solution

We have,

2x-1-1x-2=2k

2x-4-x+1(x-1)(x-2)=2k

x-3x2-3x+2=2k

kx-3k=2x2-6x+4

2x2-(6+k)x+3k+4=0

 For no real roots D<0 

(6+k)2-8(3k+4)<0

k2+12k+36-24k-32<0

(k-6)2-32<0

k-6<32

6-32<k<6+32

Integral value of k=1,2,3,4, 5,6,7,8,9,10,11

Sum=11×122=66
