Don't know why my answer is abit different from the question, but the method should be the same. An equation has no solution (no real roots) when b^2-4ac<0 as it cannot be square rooted. (based on quadratic equation)

I have verified from the Desmos application that k is indeed > 0.75.

discriminant b² - 4ac = 9 - 12k

If k > 0.5,

-k < -0.5

-12k < -6

9 - 12k < 9 - 6

9 - 12k < 3

So it would be possible for real solutions to exist if k > 0.5. k needs to be > 0.75 for no real solutions to exist
