Equation

5x^2 - kx + 88 = 0

 

Discriminant

b^2 - 4ac

(-k)^2 - 4(5)(88)

 

Solving

So, we're looking for the greatest k value where (-k)^2 - 4(5)(88) is negative and an integer. 

(-k)^2 - 4(5)(88)

k^2 - 1760 < 0 

k^2 < 1760

k < sqrt(1760)

The largest integer that fufils this is 41. 

 

Answer

Thus, our answer is 41. 

 

I hope this helped. :))))
