Q81.The sum of all integral values of k(k ≠0) for which the equation x−12 − x−21 = k2 in x has no real roots, is_____.

What This Question Tests

This question requires manipulating a rational equation into a quadratic form and then using the condition for no real roots (discriminant less than zero) to find the possible integer values of k.

Concepts Tested

Quadratic equation formationDiscriminantConditions for no real roots

Formulas Used
